some algorithm design type questions, some pseudocode system design, some behaviorals. Mostly standard stuff, but the leetcode is less algorithmic and more application based. Two rounds of interviews following a series of emails.
Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. Acudí a una entrevista en Wefunder (San Francisco, CA) en may 2021
Entrevista
- Initial screening call
- ~1 hour with VP of engineering + another engineer, walking them through code + functionality of a project I built
- 8-hour (of which, 6 were paid for!) "virtual on-site"
-- ~5 hours pair programming with VP, split by a 1-hour lunch with misc employees
-- 1 hour with CTO, talking about experience and conceptualizing a feature
-- 1 hour with CEO, talking about my motivations, and generally just getting to know each other a bit
I'm largely posting this review because I saw all the negative interview experiences and the CTO mentioned they just revamped their process. I thought the whole process was very smooth. I especially appreciated that they were always clear on next steps, my time pair programming was compensated, and they gave me sincere feedback on why I didn't receive an offer.
As an aside, I'm excited to see Wefunder grow! They have a very talented and friendly crew, and I definitely got the feeling that they're in a transformational period of their growth-- trying to figure out how to implement just the right amount of process to sustain the company long-term without sacrificing the scrappy, hackerish nature of the culture.

Pregunta 1
- Pair programming involved coding a feature that was eventually to be implemented in production. As this was a full-stack role, we touched on Ruby/JS/HTML/CSS including researching 3rd party packages to cover aspects of the funcitonality.
- CTO asked for details on how I would implement a certain feature.
Phone/behavioral screen + tech screen. The process was great until I was ghosted after being told I would be moving onto the final round interview. No response from a single person despite multiple follow ups.
