Employee referred. The HR guy was very unprofessional, didn't show up at the first conference, I needed to reach out again to schedule a 2nd and he called 1 hr late. We scheduled a phone screen with a lady that could barely speak the English language. I tried to talk my solution first but she didn't care and told me to code right away and that speaking was not necessary (wtf?!) Ok I did it and coded a working solution that passes all the test cases on time. She didn't speak a word during that time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a method that converts a numeric string to a numeric value. Can't use any built in conversion function except for single char. Example: "-123.44E-2" would be a valid input
Many rounds, a mixture of behavioural and technicals, final round was more questions related to applications of Robinhood rather than pure LC. Also focused on the product a lot during interviews.
I applied online. I interviewed at Robinhood in Oct 2020
Interview
I applied online and received a CodeSignal General Coding assessment, which consisted of 4 standard algorithm questions (2 easy, 1 medium, 1 hard). They contacted me for a Karat interview shortly after. The Karat interview was incredibly difficult. It started with roughly 25 conceptual questions on general programming, databases, security, and networking, where you have about a minute for each question. You are allowed to pass questions that you are unsure of in order to save time. At the end, if you finish early, you can go back to the questions you skipped. The last 30 minutes were for coding. You are supposed to go through as many questions as you can during that time span.
