Interview
Submitted my resume for a position listed on their website. Got contacted by a recruiter about 6-8 weeks later requesting a phone screen. Did the phone screen the following week where we talked about what the company is looking for and how I might fit in. After the call, I was e-mailed a "homework assignment" to complete and was told to take as long as I needed to. It was a fun challenge and I completed it the following week.
The day after I submitted it, I got a thumbs up on my solution and they requested an on-site interview, which I did a week later. The on-site was about 6 hours at the Austin office. Two technical interviews about 90 minutes each, and two personal/cultural interviews at 60 minutes each. The technical interviews I brought my own laptop and used C++ to implement a solution for two different problems that were simple games. Neither problem was too difficult, but the limited time was a factor that made it somewhat stressful. After you complete the problem, they continue expanding on it if there's remaining time, asking you to make changes to make the games more complex.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most unexpected thing was that I wasn't asked any of the standard questions that you would expect where you are asked to describe certain terms. For example, "What is a virtual constructor?" or "How would you find and fix a memory leak?". I was glad to not be asked such questions and that they focused on the most important thing: can you design good software to solve a problem.
It was also nice that I didn't have to do any whiteboard coding. The whiteboard was only used to describe the problems by the interviewers and my proposed high-level solutions.

Interview
I interviewed with one of the API-focused teams for a 30-minute hiring manager round. The interview began with questions about my applications to other teams, which had already been discussed with HR, and the mention that candidates may be redirected to other teams felt discouraging before the technical discussion even started.
During the discussion, the interviewer appeared dismissive and showed limited interest in understanding the context behind technical decisions (for example, quickly judging latency as “very high” without exploring system constraints). Overall, the interaction felt somewhat one-sided and not very candidate-friendly.

Interview
There were 2 stages. The first was a recruiter screen. The second was with a specific team. In the second interview, we discussed projects in the team's pipeline, my experience and how it may lineup, and the current state of frontend technology.
