One technical phone screen followed by a rejection after a week of pinging the recruiter, Zeb. No reason was specified.

Definitely no longer a startup
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
August 26, 2014
Pros: Work-life balance is fantastic and hours are flexible. Benefits are good, but not outstanding. The product itself is peerless and the development team is full of incredibly smart, helpful people who are a pleasure to work with.
Cons: The company is going through all sorts of growing pains. The intimate startup feel is gone, and upper management doesn't seem to care about individual employees. Internal promotions are paid way less than outside hires. 401(k) matching is kind of pathetic.
