I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Whatnot
Interview
Interviewed for a frontend leaning role. I had a technical typical phone screen with an engineer where we went through 2 leetcode-style easy-med problems. Was my first technical in a few years so was quite rusty - solved the first and talked through a solution and coded out most of the 2nd but with a few bugs. Probably could've fixed them in another few min.
Interviewer was really engaging, friendly, and empathetic. It was a great interview overall and got a sense that the eng culture was quite good. Definitely a reminder that I need to brush up on my leetcode.
