I applied online through the Wish Careers page and received an email back the very next day to schedule a phone screen with a technical recruiter.

All the scheduling is quick and easy, done through Google Calendar. The conversation was pleasant and consisted of the usual background questions: "What are you looking for? Briefly describe past experiences." So, just a normal conversation, no pressure.

The next day, the recruiter emailed me to schedule an on-site interview. Once the date was set, they sent me the schedule for the day. Mine was going to be 2 hours, meeting with a total of 4 people. I believe this is slightly shorter than the average, but I was applying to a smaller team.

Their SF office is super easy to get to as it is right above BART. After a few minutes of trying to get through building security (you have to sign in and they call up to the company to confirm before they let you on the elevator), I was greeted by my recruiter as I exited the elevator on the penthouse floor. I gotta say, the view from their office is really nice; they own the top 3 floors of the building. They also gave me a bag of swag: snacks, notebook, pen (meh), t-shirt (American Apparel).

Anyway, back to the interview.

The recruiter gave me a tour around one of the floors and a brief overview of all the different teams. Then I met with the hiring manager, followed by the department head. The last person was supposed to be with the head of recruiting, but he ended up not being able to make it. In all fairness, the recruiter did let me know beforehand that might happen. So instead, the department head was nice enough to stay and chat with me for the remainder of the time. The recruiter came back to close up my day and let me know that they would get back to me in a week or so.

A week later, they contacted me back to extend an offer. I was juggling other interviews and offers at the time, and Wish was very accommodating to give me more time to decide. The entire process was smooth. My only criticism is that I would have liked to speak with more people on the team to get a better sense of the culture prior to making my decision, but I might be a minority on that. In the end, I think I made the correct one by accepting.

Elaborate on past technologies you've used.
