Process
45-minute chat with recruiter.
Fairly standard get-to-know-you questions and a great explanation of the company. The recruiter was very friendly and easy to talk to.
1-hour technical interview. Much tougher.

Pros: Transparency about the state of the business, a strong leadership team that communicates strategic decisions, skilled and kind ICs who take on-call/reliability seriously, and an extremely good remote culture.
Cons: Some of the earlier years were a bit chaotic (i.e., not having a manager due to a delay in hiring, or getting a new one every few months).

Hire to Fire culture
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
August 30, 2022
Pros: Paper money
“Good” management
People smart here
“Culture” is great
Cons: Too many to outline!
* Mandatory 15% PME every 6 months.
* Four to five reorgs a year, and many people exit then.
* Managers are encouraged to ‘exit’ new employees within weeks of starting. Woo hoo!
* Nasty dog-eat-dog culture, and a matter of time before external perception catches up with internal.
* Internal Blind is a bloodbath, worse than Amazon according to folks who’ve worked at both firms.
