Process
The phone screening involved coding 1-2 algorithm problems using an online document sharing system. The code needed to be compilable, as there was an online compiler. You had to write and run your own test cases.
The onsite interview mainly included:
- Whiteboard coding problems (2 rounds)
- System design (1 round)
- Behavioral questions (1 round from the engineering manager)
The interviewers were very nice and friendly. Sometimes an interview had two interviewers, one of whom was a shadow. The whole process went very fast. I enjoyed interviewing with them.

Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
October 27, 2014
Pros: - Smart people
- Fast pace
- Great leadership
- Awesome benefits
- Tightly knit teams/company
Working for a company that is driven by a vision that every employee shares makes working a pleasure. People here work hard and are great at getting things done. It also helps that we all use our application multiple times a week so we understand the product that we're building.
Cons: - As a company that is growing exponentially (global reach and its personnel), we're constantly faced with new challenges in scaling people and processes. Although handling growing pains is well executed, it requires constant communication that sometimes isn't perfectly executed.
- You'll be pushed to work hard and get a lot done. If you can't keep up with the work, it will impact your work-life balance.
