Software Engineer, Testing Platform Interview Experience - Venice, California
Process
Applied through employee referral. The process took approximately 3 weeks.
A phone screen was conducted via Google Hangout. The interview question involved elementary DFS. I didn't perform well on the problem but had a joyful talk with my interviewer.
Onsite was one week later, consisting of three rounds of coding and one round of behavioral questions. Coding problems covered BFS, DFS, backtracking, Trie trees, and so forth. The overall difficulty was above average. However, interviewers were patient and willing to help. I got stuck several times during coding; my interviewers were happy to make clarifications and help point out corner cases.

- 1.0Beach House Office, Corporate LiesSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeVenice, California, United StatesMarch 28, 2018Pros: Nice location and good benefits & perks (on paper). From the policies, I feel the leadership team does care a lot about employees.Cons: The office buildings are all beach houses, which is completely unprofessional. It looks great on paper, but working in a beach house is not a good experience. What's written on paper is not what's actually being executed. Leadership team changes its mind way too often. Company culture is bad. I feel like I'm living in a lie all the time. Management says one thing while meaning the complete opposite. There is no transparency at all. I think 95%+ are committed to the company only because of the RSU equity, and everyone I've talked to has admitted the company culture is speed and lies.
