Process
The technical interview was conducted over a 45-minute video chat and was generally very conversational.
It took place with two engineers and was based around a modeling exercise through Gliffy. I had to fix a flawed model using object-oriented design principles. They tested concepts such as:
- Cardinality
- Inheritance
- Redundancy
Questions
What areas could you fix in this model?

Pros: Excellent culture and benefits, very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Cons: It can feel like you are stuck in application development using a proprietary language.
The language makes development slower than it could be for apps teams.
Pay is okay; they put a lot of emphasis on stock-based compensation, which doesn't vest until the year after you receive it.
There's a tendency to reinvent the wheel with internal tools.
