I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Redfin in Feb 2016
Interview
The interviewer spoke with me through the phone, and also used HackerRank as a way to see what I was coding. It was somewhat casual and the interviewer asked questions to get to know me in addition to what I know.
50% Behavioral, 50% Technical.
Wasn't too challenging but it seemed like they were looking more for the thought process.

Can you do this in O(n) runtime?
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.
