Process
I had two rounds of interviews, each an hour long, with a different member of the team.
The first interview was relatively easier and focused on CS fundamentals, while the second one was significantly more difficult.

Pros: Lots of friendly engineers, pay was okay in theory.
Cons: Management is unstable, which reflects on the company as a whole. Every week, we would get an email about senior position changes and reorganizations.
The pay is too heavily reliant on unreliable stock.

Software Engineer • Former Employee

March 24, 2018
Pros: Good pay for new grads, but don't believe in the stocks. Basically, they're trash, and the vesting process is very tricky. There is no guarantee that you can vest them all. There's a high chance you'll be forced to leave the company within four years.
Cons: 1. Immature management level.
2. No transparency.
3. The engineering team is a "second-class" citizen in this company.
4. The culture is "accept it or you shut up and leave."
