I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Robinhood (Menlo Park, CA) in May 2020
Interview
Their recruiters were spamming me many times to apply. When I finally decided to apply, we started with a recruiter talk and then they sent me directly to a byteboard without any other discussion.
The coding portion says to code like it was production code, which means you should include unit tests and a decent amount of documentation. Because of this extra work, there may be a few functions that you cannot yet implement. They probably expected you to implement everything without tests. This would explain why their product goes down so often.
If this process describes the quality of their engineers, I prefer not to use their product anymore.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Review a design document about measuring devices in a factory.
Then implement 5 of the methods.
Had the OA which was 4 questions. The interesting part was that each question had a separate time limit, rather than the typical 1 hour total for all 4 questions.

Question 1
First question was some basic string manipulation.
Don't remember the 2nd question.
3rd was some implementation stuff.
4th is algorithmic.
Regular interview process with technical screen then three rounds coding, system design, and project deep dive. Questions are average difficulty on leetcode, would definitely prepare for both coding and system design.

The recruiter said I passed all the interviews, takes me to HM round, says I did great and then tells me can't push out an offer quickly so would keep me under consideration for 6-8 months, like wtf?
