There was a coding interview, and then a system design interview one week later. 1.5 hours before the system design interview was supposed to begin, I received an email saying that they don't want to move forward and the interview is canceled.

I don't remember specific coding questions, but it was not especially difficult, and I did everything that was required.

Bad management, favoritism, cronyism: Go to Ticketmaster instead.
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, CA
July 11, 2013
Pros: The location in downtown San Fran is OK despite the lack of decent restaurants, but who cares if the job is horrible and the management is corrupt?
Cons: Favoritism and cronyism weigh heavily in favor of foreign workers.
There is definitely reverse discrimination in this company, at least in engineering.
There are too many middle managers -- way too many -- and it is an infestation!
Another commenter mentions technical debt: A ton of it exists, and there is little will to deal with it.
