I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Robinhood in Feb 2022
Interview
The interview process was very much in line with most FAANG companies. Started with a quick screen call, followed by a technical round debugging in a linux terminal. From there, we moved to an "on-site" interview which consisted of 3 hour long interviews, one around coding, one around system design and one showing off a previous project.
I can't go into any further detail as we had to sign an NDA
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Robinhood
Interview
Had an initial live troubleshooting interview that covered determining what was wrong, and then a short programming exercise to live fix one of the issues.
That was followed up with an half day interview with 3 different team members (included a break) which consisted of the following:
- An architecture design problem
- Another live troubleshooting session,
- A deep dive on a past project
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Troubleshoot what's wrong with a live system and code a fix for it
- Walk through how you would design a system that does X, pointing out pros and cons for various options and your reasons for choosing one solution vs another
