Phone call with recruiter. Focused mainly on details from my resume and qualifications associated with the position. Checked to make sure I had the desired skills listed on the job posting. Didn't get an offer; mentioned that I didn't quite meet the specifications for the job.

Pros: Leadership has great vision and cares about its employees.
Management cares about the physical and mental health of employees, rather than just being goal-driven.
Cons: - Growing too fast can lead to corporate inefficiencies (e.g., constantly onboarding new people).
- Like most tech companies, could stand to better represent women and other minority groups in STEM.

At the stage of solidifying processes
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Foster City, California, United States
July 7, 2023
Pros: - Smart, good people.
- The culture is open, so you can learn about any part of the company.
- They are also open about their successes and failures.
- The food is really good.
- People are generally helpful if they are not busy.
Cons: There is tension between engineers on wanting to get things done quick and getting things done right. It's hard to get the right code in place because people are using the old code and old processes to meet deadlines.

Pretty decent place, friendly
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Foster City, California, United States
February 8, 2021
Pros: Senior and middle management are technically inclined. Most people have been here for quite a few years, so they've been here for the majority of the lifetime of the company, leading to a friendly and collaborative atmosphere.
Cons: Benefits are honestly really bad. Things like 401k, medical, dental, insurance, and subsidies for the gym are lacking. The pay is slightly below FAANG standards. Hiring is intense now; hopefully, it doesn't dilute the culture.
