Process
I was referred by a friend and set up with a phone screen with the technical recruiter within a few days of the referral. It was a brief, fifteen-minute conversation, and the recruiter scheduled a tech screen with an engineer afterward.
During this tech screen, the interviewer asked me to solve one coding challenge through a pair programming module. I completed it, then made sure to solve for edge cases, and then asked some questions at the end.
My interviewer seemed rushed for time, as he ended the conversation right on time and left with an abrupt "goodbye!"
I received a rejection within 48 hours, but knew exactly what I had messed up on and definitely can't blame the interviewer; he was very helpful in delivering feedback at the end of the interview.
Questions
Standard coding challenge on string manipulation.

They're fundamentally changing the way people interact with the world, bridging the digital with the "real world". It's an amazing opportunity to be a part of.Cons: The company is in a complex market, and tech journalists often don't understand the nuance. It could be frustrating to read a litany of seemingly negative articles because the journalists don't understand the actual laws or issues. That's probably a downside to every company that's rapidly changing the world. People who don't work full-time in that specific industry probably don't actually understand the issues in the industry.
