People working there are super nice and passionate. I would recommend working there if you really care about their mission over anything else. The comp is below market and benefits aren't as great as your typical tech company. Seems to have limited career growth opportunities for software engineers. Also the office location is hard to get to via public transit.

Question 1
practical stuff, more focus on object oriented programming
Screening call with a recruiter follow by a technical interview.
The question was the same paint question that others have posted about. The interview seemed to go well, and I solved the problem, and all of the interviewer's test cases. However, I received a rejection e-mail a few hours later.
Overall, seemed to be a waste of time. Seems odd to have just one person be the gate-keeper instead of having a hiring panel like most companies.

Question 1
Create a Painter class. The same question that others have posted about.
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Color (Burlingame, CA)
Entretien
The process consisted of 2 coding interviews, 1 system design interview, and 1 behavioral interview with manager. The interviewers were all friendly and patient. We didn't even compile the code I wrote, we just talked through it.

Question 1
Rest APIs, basic coding (any language was fine), OOP patterns
The interview process started with an informal HR call and then a phone screen. The phone screen was scheduled with a senior engineer but instead someone else joined in with no clue on how to interview. I was not given time for introduction and the interview jumped right into the coding question. They were using Codility platform and I was unfamiliar with the platform. The link to the shared pad was given on the spot so I had no time to get comfortable with the platform. The interviewer offered NO HELP whatsoever even when I explicitly asked "How do I run this?" They said - I'm not sure. So I had to spend time figuring it out by myself and after going through my code and testing it, they mentioned a use case that I missed for which I had to restructure my entire code. I kept asking if I was going in the right direction but no helpful response or hints. The interviewer was just staring at me the whole time.
At the end of the call, I got to know that the interviewer has been been in the company for 6 months so I got no insight whatsoever into the company culture, the team responsibilities, etc.
Overall a very bad experience, I won't be engaging with this company again.

Question 1
MS Paint Question:
Given a canvas (list of lists of str)
1. Paint(x, y, color): do canvas[x][y] = color, keep track of all actions performed here for the undo() & redo()
2. Undo(): undo the last performed action (this can be done multiple times and go as far as the first action)
3. Redo(): redo the last undo action (this can be done multiple times and go as far as the first undo)
