I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Whatnot (San Jose, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview
Really enjoyed the interview process at Whatnot! Started off with a friendly HR chat about the role to see if I'd be a good fit. From there, it was a mix of interviews: coding, system design, a chat with the hiring manager, and a principles interview. They even threw in a product sense interview, which was a very intersting and fun interview. It shows they're after engineers who get the bigger picture (which makes sense since it’s an engineering-led startup where devs are hands-on with product design).
