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
Entretien moyen
Candidature
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Whatnot en juil. 2023
Entretien
Started with a phone interview and then a live HackerRank coding interview. In the coding interview, I was asked to solve a multi-part coding question. After getting the first part done and "correct", I was given a followup. I dd not solve the follow-up in the exact manner that the interviewer wanted (despite coming up with a reasonable solution), and they requested I solved it in the "expected" way that they wanted to which was frustrating and that which I did not have time for. Overall, felt like a trivia ask where I did not satisfy the interviewer's demands rather than discovering problem solving abilities. After the interview, I received a condescending rejection email regarding how "incredibly high" their hiring bar is.
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.
