Process
There was a very easy online assessment, easier than LeetCode easy problems. If you passed the OA, then there was a phone interview. Since I didn't pass the first-round phone interview, I don't know what's next.
Questions

A random grab bag of the best and worst parts of Silicon Valley
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
October 28, 2021
Pros: Loves hiring new grads. Has embraced the new reality of remote work. Genuinely good company values attract good people to work there. Tries to encourage growth and self-ownership. Works hard to be a middle ground between the no-pay hack startup and the big-bucks, soulless giant company cultures.
Cons: Being a 'fun' and 'unique' company is used to excuse everything from missing infrastructure to byzantine advancement paths to low salary growth. An environment that makes good managers lackluster and bad managers thrive. Product is as fragmented as internal processes, which is a lot.
