J'ai postulé via une autre source. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Whatnot (New York, NY) en mai 2022
Entretien
- Hiring manager reached out through LinkedIn
- First round was Coderpad
- Final round was 2 interviews (product design & system design)
- Got a generic rejection email few days later without any explanation
- I asked for feedback as to why I was rejected, but never got any response
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Product design interview (How would you improve whatnot app) & System design interview (design a notification system)
only through email to arrange and follow up, not very clear procedure, and you may receive many emails from many people and some maybe system emails, I guess it's a small company, not well arranged for this
Very clear interview process and a great recruiting team and a cool company.
However, the work isn't special but the interviewers have a high standard for some reason -- any basic tenured dev can do the work lol apparently looking for "cream of the crop"
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Basic Software design question -> explain building a web api and then some follow-ups
Coding interview: merge two arrays and sort them based on their squared value: [1,3,7] and [4,10,11] -> simple solution with two pointers
remove duplicates in a string
Some behavioral questions
After going through several recruitment stages, including a home task challenge, the feedback received was vague and unhelpful. As usual, there was no transparency or clear explanation regarding the reasons behind rejecting the application.
