I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Patreon (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
Initial screening includes few basic Android related questions- nothing crazy - basic questions. Followed by a coding exercise to solve the Wordle problem. Interviewer is friendly and showed up on time.

Interview
It seems as though Patreon needs to do some work on their interview processes. The technical screen that I had required solving two algorithm exercises in 50 minutes.
Neither challenge was prohibitively difficult, but the time crunch does not set candidates up for success. After being cut off on the first challenge when I nearing the solution, I couldn't help but feel like I had already been rejected before starting on the second challenge.
The interviewer didn't seem particularly interested in getting to know me as a candidate, either, but I imagine the time crunch could have something to do with that.
