Process
Apply via a friend.
I received a recruiter call after one week. It went pretty well, and I got into a technical phone interview.
It covered basic questions about computer science and data structures. Be prepared for online coding and compiling. Keep asking questions if you do not understand something.

A great place for learning and growth, a playground for builders and hackers
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
October 29, 2014
Pros: Hypergrowth company with a deeply rooted startup culture. Things are rolling fast.
Both builders and hackers are valued here. Innovations and experimentations are greatly encouraged. Mistakes and failures are embraced as long as you learn from them.
The leadership is strong. There are many interesting, challenging technical problems to solve.
How many companies out there are tackling all these areas, including real-time infrastructure, logistics, big data, machine learning, geomatic engineering, and mobile development?
Cons: Hours are long, but thankfully they make it fun.

Amazing place to work
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
October 31, 2014
Pros: Incredibly smart, dedicated, passionate people. People I want to work with and spend time with outside of work.
The company is still in the early stages of growth. Huge amounts of opportunity for personal and professional growth.
Does an impressive job of maintaining 'start-up' culture, especially given its velocity of growth.
Also, I usually don't like perks (I'd prefer money...), but I can't describe how useful free Uber credit is.
Cons: Not many. It's not a place to go if you just want a 9-5.
