Process
Had a screening call followed by a technical video interview. Screening call went over qualifications, resume, and project. Video interview was an hour long and did the same, but then followed with a coding challenge. Wasn't offered a final on-site interview.

Beach House Office, Corporate Lies
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Venice, California, United States
March 28, 2018
Pros: 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.
