Fun, interesting, and fast-paced
Great people, great product, with a lot of new ideas in the pipeline.
Everyone is open to ideas and suggestions. You can contribute as much as you are able to, and you are only encouraged to take on responsibility. Teams are extremely autonomous.
Benefits are second to none. Lunch and snacks are great! Free beer.
Lots of teams with their own plans, coordinating timelines, releases, and features is/can be a challenge.
You don't always know what other teams are working on and how far along their projects might be. There is no secrecy; you can talk to them, it's just not as transparent as it could be.
Keep working on org structure and transparency. You are improving; keep doing so!

System design, white-boarding, and behavioral. System design was very straightforward. The algorithms were nothing surprising and not particularly difficult. "Culture fit" seems to be what matters the most, rather than technical skill.

Video call screening interview with coding exercise. Followed by half a day at their office with more coding exercises, some coding, some more higher-level design, and interview with hiring manager for cultural fit.

First round with recruiter. Asked basic questions about myself. The recruiter immediately wanted to end the interview after giving a salary range. I provided a reasonable compensation range that falls within the average found online.
