Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Given my previous internship experience, they skipped the HackerRank and I had one technical phone screen, then an onsite. The onsite consisted of four technical questions and a lunch. The entire process took less than two weeks, and I heard back three days after the onsite. The food at the onsite was great, and the engineers/interviewers were really interesting.

The culture is very playful, and I spend a lot of time laughing and enjoying the company of my coworkers. In terms of work, I've been trusted to work on interesting, high impact projects, despite being a new grad and only having worked here for a couple months. I've learned a lot and enjoy the work. Also the food is great, and good snacks!Cons: New grad onboarding wasn't very structured - it was kind of overwhelming at the beginning, and it would've been nice if there had been some sort of new grad social event to meet other people my age.
