• Recruiter Screen • Technical Interview • On site paid work trial Recruiter was very nice, Technical Interview was a pretty standard algorithm style question, invited out for onsite in SF without much information, figured it would be more pair programming. Turns out it was more of an independent project where you present what you did and how and why at the end. Definitely screening for more senior or self directed candidates with requirements being a bit vague and you're sort of expected to figure it out. I liked the ambiguity and thought the problem was interesting and it was good to meet the team and see how they work and if the culture fit would be there both ways. Received a fair offer and they explained how it was calculated, etc. Not sure how much room there is for negotiating either way.

There were 3 steps in the process First there was a recruiter Call Then there was a coding Exercise meeting Then there was a two day onsite job trial The two day onsite job trial was in San Francisco and included working on an presenting a project a the end of the two days At the onsite, the engineers worked 11+ hours days which was not described in the interview process prior. The work trial started at 10am and I left at 9:30 pm on day one. People were very collaborative and friendly up until I presented the project. Then they grilled me until they hit the limits of my knowledge and did not answer questions that I asked, like "Are we operating at that scale and is that type of solution needed at this time?". They have no work-life balance, and are not collaborative in the technical presentation.
