Process
The first step was the recruiter call. It included basic questions like, "Why do you want to leave your current role?" and "Why Tinder?"
Next, I had the technical interview. The interviewer seemed nice. He asked about my experience and some non-technical questions relating to it. Then, he dove into the question that I explained here. It was pretty straightforward.

Pros: - Work culture is good; the company throws parties, and there is a sense of fun.
- Work is interesting; you can see your changes on the app.
- Code is not that messy.
- Innovation can be seen and is comparable to other high-tech companies.
Cons: - A lot of turnover in leadership and managers.
- PM's ideas are not that great for growing the company. Sometimes they ask for help.
- Some employees are for sure clueless and being carried, which is worse than those that rest and vest.

Pretty rare opportunity
Software Engineer • Current Employee
West Hollywood, California, United States
April 29, 2017
Pros: Tinder's at a sweet spot where its user base is big enough that anything you work on reaches a lot of people, but the company is small and young enough that every person has the opportunity to work on meaningful problems.
The people are all really cool, down-to-earth, and smart.
Huge opportunity for career growth for those who are hungry.
The West Hollywood location is super unique and within walking distance to tons of bars and restaurants.
There are a ton of engineering challenges to solve because the original app was written hastily.
The caliber of engineers has gone way up in the last year.
The leadership team is focused on listening to the team and fixing issues that need to be fixed. I think this could be done more proactively, but at least it's happening.
Cons: Not enough focus on our mission and taking the product to the next level. Many people on the team are disconnected from how the product really works and who our users are. This is somewhat natural because so many people are in relationships or married, but we should do more to help with this.
I wish there were more opportunities to connect with people from across the company and offices (WH and PA). 200 is still a pretty small company, and all of the teams are really cool, so more mixing of people and ideas would be great.
The pay is relatively competitive and better than many companies, but if you're at the top of your industry, you'll probably get better offers elsewhere.
