Process
I stopped the interview process after taking the screening code challenges.
It was a very simple question, asking about list manipulation.
After the phone screening, you should hear back about scheduling the date for the on-site.
Questions
List manipulation using the language of your preference.

Awesome place to work!
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
September 19, 2012
Pros: Great environment. Amazing people.
Everyone there is willing to help you get on your feet and start coding. They all come off as friendly and helpful, and you fit in in no time.
A lot of the time, you will either be on IRC chatting with fellow coworkers about life, or setting up some after-work activity. The environment is laid back, and the only real motivating factor was seeing how much your fellow co-worker did the previous day, since there weren't really any set deadlines to get a project done.
Cons: Had a long commute, but other than that, everything was incredible. No complaints.
