Pros

They're working on and beyond the edge of established knowledge, giving rise to some interesting problems. The people are great to work and chat with. Different backgrounds, smart. Active in the open source community, giving back.

Cons

The recruitment process is long and arduous. There's a lot of interesting interviews, but you have to keep on the ball to keep it rolling, otherwise it will stall, and then you're stuck waiting. The HR process in general is clearly in its infantile stage, but it's clear they're actively working on improving.

Thanks for the review and seeing that we are, indeed, always working to improve. The People team has grown a lot in the last few months, esp on the recruitment side. We have tightened up the process (and automated in parts too). We are measuring how frequently we communicate with candidates in the process. Although we are not resting on what’s been done - we are still seeking to get better. -janet
