The interview process spanned about six different stages. The initial two were conducted with the agency representative who had recruited me through LinkedIn as well as a recruiter from Whatnot. The third stage involved a take-home assessment, which was straightforward and evaluated both my technical skills and strategic thinking. The fourth stage was an interview with a department manager to discuss my background. The fifth stage was an interview with another department head to delve into the company’s principles. Finally, they reviewed my references, and I was offered the job after that. This entire process took slightly less than two weeks. Throughout the interview process, I met and spoke to incredibly amazing individuals who were all very encouraging and helped me feel confident navigating the steps. Although the interview process was lengthy, it felt perfectly appropriate to ensure that I had a thorough understanding of the job and the company.

The interview process is thorough because Whatnot really cares about the people they are bringing in. It is multiple rounds, but it is not hard if you know what the company stands for and are familiar with what the app actually is.
