The first-round Whatnot interview includes six short video questions, each with a one-minute response limit.

Both camera and microphone remain on throughout the recording.

The questions assess your motivation, problem-solving skills, and overall fit for the role.

The questions focus on:

• The motivation for applying.
• Experience using the Whatnot app (what you like and what could be improved).
• A summary of past internships or work experiences.
• Your approach to learning new programming languages and which one you are most comfortable with.
• A problem-solving story.
• A final check regarding location, relocation preference, graduation date, and sponsorship.
