Process
I applied online.
I received an email asking me to pick a time to speak with HR about my previous work experience as well as learning more about the teams. The day of the interview came. After waiting 20 minutes past my scheduled time for a call from them, I received an email saying that I wasn't a good fit. Worst of all, I wasn't even addressed by the correct name.

Pros: 1) The people are outstanding. The company is filled to the brim with intelligent, driven individuals who are ready to help at a moment's notice. I look forward to coming into the office and seeing these people every day.
2) The work is engaging, and you feel like you have a real impact on the end user's experience and contribute to the company's continued success.
