Process
No initial conversation with a recruiter; the recruiter jumped straight to scheduling phone interviews over email.
I had an initial interview that went well, after which I was scheduled for a second. The second interviewer did not call and needed to reschedule.
After rescheduling and having the second interview (which again went well), I was ghosted and did not hear back again from the recruiter. The engineers were okay to talk to; however, recruiting seems disorganized.

Many people on the team are really mean and vindictive, seeming to have discrimination towards different people. Tons of negative energy is possessed within the atmosphere.
- 2.0Poor leadership and lack of growthSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeJune 6, 2019Pros: An interesting and challenging engineering problem to solve. Fully catered lunches and dinners. Lots of freedom in choosing projects you work on. Flexible working hours.Cons: Very inexperienced leadership. Lack of transparency. Focus too much on short-term revenue and eventually ruin user experience. Most growth comes from high marketing expenses. Terrible organic growth. Beware: the company will take back all your vested RSU if it doesn't go IPO 3 years after you leave. Don't join if you are not sure whether you will stay very long.
