Process
Initial screen with a recruiter on Thursday.
First tech interview occurred two Wednesdays later, as the recruiting team had a week-long onsite in between.
The tech interview was on HackerRank, featuring two easy-medium LeetCode questions within 45 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of high-level questions and conversation.
The interviewer was great! He was very helpful when I was stuck and the interaction felt collaborative, much more so than someone testing you.
I passed the first round and would have moved on to the onsite, but the positions were already filled (likely due to the significant time gap between the recruiter call and the tech interview).
While the scheduling was definitely on the slower side, both my interviewer and recruiter were very nice and communicative.
I would definitely love to interview with them again in the future.

Patreon Work Experiences
- 4.0Good, career growth struggles thoughSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesOctober 7, 2024Pros: Amazing engineers Fun product Nice perksCons: Reorgs a little too often. I think the stock is overvalued and hasn't been adjusted for engineers.
- 1.0not happy at allSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeMay 30, 2022Pros: Good teammates, nice people to work with. Good mission.Cons: Everything else is in cons! Management and leadership is the worst you can ever experience.
- 1.0A dysfunctional company with a great missionSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeMarch 2, 2022Pros: Patreon has a commendable mission: funding the creative class. Being a part of that mission feels rewarding and empowering.Cons: Leadership feels inauthentic. There is an integrity gap between what leadership preaches publicly and their actions. This was particularly evident in a number of circumstances (e.g., the multiple layoffs). CPO has failed to walk the talk, so far. A lot of empty promises and "grandiose" strategies but no real changes in the product since he joined. Turnover is very high at all levels, including key leadership positions.
