Whova Interview Questions
& Process

I was reached out through LinkedIn and handshake, then had a video screening call. Then a longer office visit interview, and a final conversation before getting an offer. Be ready to answer questions about why whova, why sales, and your working experience. Interview process was smooth. Pretty responsive and engaging communication.

I had a first-round interview for a full-time Product Design job. Two people interviewed me, and it felt really disorganized and kind of off. They didn't even introduce themselves or talk about the job or team, they just jumped straight into my resume. A lot of the time was spent questioning if my past experiences were legit, especially since they were from nonprofits and small companies, not big, traditional tech places. Instead of seeing how my background fit, they mostly talked about why I didn't have big-tech experience and how my career path stacked up against people from bigger design places. I tried to answer everything calmly and professionally. One interviewer was kind of aggressive, twisting my words to sound like I was putting down other paths or companies, which wasn't what I meant at all. I get that interviews are about checking if you're a good fit, but it felt really dismissive and condescending, like I had to defend myself instead of having a real conversation. That whole vibe made me decide to pull out of the hiring process after the interview.

It was a pretty intense interview process for an $80k salary in a high cost of living area like San Diego. They started with an initial call that had a mix of behavioral and technical questions, though I was told it was with a hiring manager, it turned out to be with an engineer. After that, there was a take-home assignment followed by two technical interviews where we discussed the take-home and they also threw in some LeetCode-style problems. They also sent over a questionnaire asking about my knowledge of the company, its competitors, and if I had downloaded their app. It was quite peculiar, almost like they were trying to recruit a customer. All in all, it felt like a very drawn-out process for a position that's significantly underpaid.

This took over 2 months and involved about 5 calls for an entry level role. The non-founder people were nice, but the founders were rude and didn't seem to value people. I went through the whole thing and they said they would offer me a job. Then, after HR started the process, they backed out and said they weren't interested anymore. It was super unprofessional after 2 months and makes me wonder if they're actually hiring. I saw other reviews saying similar things. The pay was really low too - $44k base with $800-$1000 monthly commission, and they lied about the AE/AM OTE and quota attainment. They seem to have scummy practices and low pay, the process takes forever, and they'll even pull offers. Look somewhere else if you have any self-respect.
