I applied online. I interviewed at Redfin (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2024
Interview
I applied online and heard back from recruiter and then setup a call with them to discuss role and interview process.
Note that all of the rounds had a bit of behavioral mixed into them. All rounds were 45 minutes long.
Had first interview with a hiring manager. Was asked a LC Medium. Passed this round and moved on to final onsite (virtual).
First round: Designing a Tetris game. This was a "design" kind of round where I coded up the game, the different classes, and how everything worked together. I did not need to compile my code or anything, they just wanted to see how I would design/implement (pseudocode) the game.
Second round: Was asked an easy-ish algorithm questions about finding the most common numbers in a stream.
45 min break halfway through.
Third round: Was asked a medium-level algorithm questions related to top k frequent elements and finding the top k sum of 2 arrays.
Fourth round: Was asked a medium-level 2d grid question, not really related to algorithms.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you manage conflicts between a coworker (example of a behavioral)?
Very practical interview where they asked the ingesting MLS data points and how do we map it on out system. The interviewer was very kind and if youdont know about specific he will take time to explain.
Got to the first interview and got cut after. Just asked basic behavioral questions. Wasn't too difficult, but there were probably applicants that gave better answers. Interviewer was nice and kind.

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you disagreed with a teammate, and how did you resolve it?
There was a phone screening, then zoom interviews. I was asked behavioral questions, and I did well on it. There were technical rounds, and I passed, standard technical questions. Also spoke to the hiring manager for the skills and cultural fit.
