Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took four months.
After about five phone interviews, I flew in to their south SF office for a full day on-site interview. This was hands down the best interview experience I have ever had. It was much better designed and planned compared to Apple and EtaGen, which were the two other companies I had on-site interviews with. I interviewed with six team members working on their current design, manufacturing, and supply chain problems and issues. I fell in love with the culture, people, company mission, and product!
Questions
Problems around plastics, composites, and metals in design, manufacturing, and supply chain management.

Pros: Great coworkers who really care about what they do. The type of work where there are no stupid questions and everyone is all about becoming better at what we do collectively. Location is also great. Beautiful views from the office and the commute is reverse what most people do. So unless you're coming from East Bay there really isn't much traffic at all. Company catered lunch every day is delicious, and dinner provided is also fantastic.
Cons: Lots of workaholics in one place makes it uncommon to leave at 5pm. Hopefully if you come work with us that's something you're down with.
People also seem to think they need to give excuses when they take a half day or are out of the office to handle personal matters.

Pros: I join with real doubts about the viability and the long-term commitment to their mission. I'm happy that my experiences have squelched any doubts. Zipline is full of people that love what they do, and the mission is alive and well. I've really found that everyone is a pleasure to work with, something I've never seen in my career. This is also the first company I've seen that really lives their values.
Transparency is really valued and management is open and honest, and welcomes being challenged. This is also the most diverse SF company I've been a part of. It's nice being somewhere most meetings aren't all dudes.
Cons: Zipline has no shortage of problems. The work isn't easy and there's definitely an emotional burden I apply to myself.
There are growing pains, many of which should be avoidable, but generally things have gotten better in my year here.
