The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Whatnot
Interview
Recruiter and people were nice however the case study was extreme from a time perspective. Spent 20+ hours on it with no feedback. Almost felt like they were fishing for ideas. Wouldn’t recommend if you’re unsure about the company/role overall as it’s a big time suck
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
“What do you like about the app? What can we improve?” They like to know you’ve used the app
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Whatnot in Sept 2023
Interview
The process was find at the start, but overly cumbersome. I spoke to a recruiter, then had three rounds of interviews with GMs for different categories. My only main gripe comes from the case study. They ask for a pretty substantial case study and give you 5 days to complete once sent, with no guarantee that your interview process will continue. I did not hear back for 11 days after submission and reaching out, when they guarantee they will get back within three days. Overall enjoyed the team I spoke to and thought that they are doing well/have good cash flows. Incredibly disappointed with the recruiter and lack of an opportunity to speak to the presentation, which other reviews here have called out. There were also supposed to be 2-3 rounds after the case totaling 7-8 different interviews and asks.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Whatnot in Jun 2023
Interview
Recruiter interview, hiring manager interview, then case study. Case study took ~15 hours to complete and was sent in. Was not given opportunity to present materials or get any feedback. Huge waste of time.
