Process
Went through three interview sessions, with the last two being technical interviews.
Technical questions included both coding and design questions.
The coding questions were neither difficult nor easy, and I prepared by completing questions from LeetCode's top 100 interview questions (easy-medium).
The design questions provided limited information, so the interviewee must ask the necessary questions to provide a solution.
Questions
The coding questions required knowledge of data structures such as queues, trees, and others. It was helpful to have studied the basic design of standard library data structures, like maps, to provide the time complexity and space complexity.

A friendly, helpful, and open working environment
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Santa Clara, California, United States
March 5, 2018
Pros: • Perfect combination of support and responsibilities, especially for a software developer fresh out of school. There is plenty of room to make mistakes, but also high enough expectations to encourage improvement.
• The work is creative and allows you as a developer to work with cutting-edge technology, solving open-ended problems which may have never yet been attempted.
• The working environment is friendly and everyone is willing to take the time to answer your questions. The employees are all very humble but also very competent, which means you will have plenty of experts in different fields willing and able to guide you.
Cons: Many technologies used in everyday work need to be updated to make work easier for programmers. For example, the update to C++11 and Python 2.7 still hasn't been made, let alone updating to C++14 and Python 3.6.
There are several other outdated technologies in use, but these two are the biggest offenders.
While the general experience of working on a large team and contributing to a massive project with a groundbreaking approach is very relevant, the actual day-to-day work is so unique that it will likely not make you more employable on its own.
