Patreon is a on a virtuous mission, but struggles to execute on that mission as effectively as possible
Strong mission. Passionate people. Collaborative and creative environment. In my tine at Patreon, it was always clear that everyone on the team truly cared about funding the creative class.
Inconsistent and tumultuous leadership. Engineering re-orgs and management changes. These can be common things in the startup world, but they felt too frequent at Patreon. Hopefully they're getting on a better track now.

The usual recruiter screening, with advice around the upcoming interview questions (it's LeetCode all the way down). There's the phone screen, which was a basic LeetCode question. Then there was the hiring manager interview (soft skills), then an AP
Engineering Manager
I had a 30-minute recruiter screen and a 60-minute HM interview, which was all behavioral questions. I did not make it past the HM interview. I got a default rejection email with no feedback.

Initial screening includes a few basic Android-related questions – nothing crazy, just basic questions. This is followed by a coding exercise to solve the Wordle problem. The interviewer was friendly and showed up on time.
