Interview tips
Focus on decomposition and sql based learning, the coding isn't really algorithmic it's seeing how you create and think about object orientated programming and cleanly
Company culture
Everyone interviewing me was 1-2 years post grad. Very young and bright people , company culture is very upbeat and seems like great people to work with.

“The process was well organized and the interviewers were collaborative. I did well when thinking aloud and adapting to new information. I could have managed time better during the unfamiliar-codebase round.”
“Technical interview was enjoyable since it was less so rigorous LeetCode-style problems, and more practical coding to implement particular features. Prioritize a working solution over an unfinished, optimized code.”
