Process
The process was very smooth, and the interviewers were friendly. It was on-site, and all interviews were held on the same day. I managed to grab lunch and talk about the company culture. There was good guidance throughout the process.
- Two coding rounds
- Two system design rounds
- One bar raiser round
- One hiring manager round
Questions
Something about bus stops on a map, and we had to compute positions from an API.

Exciting Growth, Long Hours
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
October 31, 2014
Pros: As a software engineer, there are a limitless number of different things to work on, and I'm working with a lot of other very excited and smart people – the best.
Huge opportunity to learn and grow professionally as the company continues to hire more people. Equity compensation is very compelling, too good to say no.
The executives are very transparent with regards to the company's performance.
Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, plus tons of fresh fruit and snacks.
Cons: We are growing so fast, meaning code evolves just as fast.
It feels a little overwhelming, but it's exciting to make a personal goal to grow to be able to keep up.
While I've never been asked to stay more than 40 hours/week, there is a strong vibe to work long hours, and I've had to reconsider how I spend my non-work hours to be more efficient (maybe that's a good thing?).
Not enough uber swag; I have to pay for my hoodie???
