Recruiter screening, first round interview, absurdly long case study, case study presentation, role play, then I got removed from the process. Weird feedback that didn’t make a ton of sense. New sales team they are building out and are being picky
Great interview process with quick responsiveness from the team and consistent follow ups from recruiter to ensure that interviews were scheduled quickly and at a time that worked with my schedule

Interview
The interview process for the AE role was one of the most well-designed I've been through. My recruiter was awesome, engaged, and informative during the whole process. There were six stages total: recruiter screen, Sales manager intro, a case study, a combined case study review and mock roleplay, a behavioral round, and a final culture conversation. It sounds like a lot but every stage had a clear purpose and built on the last one.
Everyone I spoke with was kind, sharp, and genuinely bought in on what Whatnot is building. Come passionate, come with a real point of view, and take each stage of the process seriously.

Interview
One interview with an HR professional. Pleasant experience, standard questions. Second round with a Director. The overall process was quite standard. I did inquire about the reason for not continuing, but never received a response.
