Whatnot Software Engineer interview experience

The time split was pretty explicit: I spent 15 minutes on the first part, and then the rest of the session went into coding.

They also asked about my experience with projects and pushed into the details, so it wasn’t just “here’s a problem, solve it.” The behavioral component connected back to what I had worked on, and I had to be ready to talk through specifics rather than keeping it high-level.

I didn’t get an offer, but the interview format itself was straightforward. The thing I remember most was how tightly they linked the coding work to my real project experience.
