Process
The first-round interview essentially involved using a dictionary structure and processing shipments.
It was not difficult, but you'd need to pace yourself to finish all three parts in the time that was given.

Pros: Incredibly collaborative and supportive coworkers, fast-paced and challenging environment. Work-life balance depends heavily on the team and its projects, though.
Cons: If you're not someone who can take initiative on their own or become self-sufficient, it's very possible to fall behind.

Engineering Manager • Former Employee

Pros: Clear vision of product.
Most people have a favorable opinion of the CEO.
Great benefits.
SF office is very nice.
One of the best companies if you value developer (customer) experience.
Cons: As the product has grown, there have been technical architecture challenges. Depending on your role, these can be a great challenge or frustrating.
There is some conflict between work styles, where different tools and processes are used from one team to the next.

Great Company - Growing Pains Galore
Software Engineer • Current Employee
April 10, 2022
Pros: A great company that seems to truly care for its employees. They take feedback seriously (at least from engineers, others less so) and put plans into action when there are complaints about friction. Great pay, great benefits.
Cons: Significant growing pains trying to migrate tech debt into something that scales better globally.
Too much process, bureaucracy, and politics creeping in, although it is inevitable.
Work/life balance is kind of low as there is constant pressure to deliver and show your impact.
