Process
I applied for the position through the school and received an interview invitation later. I was asked to answer two questions. One of the questions was about finding the top K most frequent elements. I got stuck on the sorting part. After the interview, I realized it was a typical coding question.

Good company to work for
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
October 21, 2025
Pros: Overall, a good company to work for, with competitive compensation and benefits.
Cons: Cons are very team-dependent. In my experience, there were many reorgs and, as a result, a lot of turnover.

Company with no proper vision
Software Engineer • Former Employee

4.0
Awkward transition phase of hypergrowth, but still a great place to work
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
January 13, 2022
Pros: Great trust in the CEO and management team, and great people to work with. Awesome vision. High chance of being a generational opportunity and a household-name company. Great work-life balance.
Cons: Massive growing pains for the last couple years that they're having trouble addressing.
Put simply, it's not as wonderful a place to work as it used to be, if you're used to small companies.
If you're willing to be a cog in the machine, you'll be fine.
They will probably manage to address them eventually (or perhaps slow the pace of growth), and it'll be a better place to work once again.
