Whatnot Software Engineer interview: DSA pre-screen and two technical rounds

I started with a structured DSA pre-screen that felt similar to a HireVue or Karat flow. I answered a set of coding prompts and then had a recruiter call. That conversation led into two more technical DSA rounds with engineers from Whatnot. Each session had only a couple of problems, and the interviewers focused on how I was thinking, not just whether I reached the correct output.

The process felt smooth and communicative. People were flexible when scheduling the multiple rounds, and the atmosphere was professional and organized. I also had a clear sense of which topics to focus on beforehand.

I didn't receive an offer after finishing the loop. The interviews were tough, but the experience felt fair and orderly, and I appreciated the transparency around expectations and focus areas.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: Positive. Offer status: No offer.
