The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Robinhood
Interview
Contacted by recruiter for phone screen. After phone screen did the Codesignal coding interview. After completing 4 questions, received a rejection letter which is phrase politely saying that I am not considered for the role for this season, and they are not allowed to provide feedback.
Just typical Ghosting in the industry, I am currently an engineer at a FAANG company, I get paid $200 an hour, if you are not planning on hiring don't waste my time. I spent 2 hours that, this interview alone cost me $400.
Covid is not the biggest pandemic in the industry, its ghosting by these recruiters. My time is precious, do you want to pay recruiters to ghost me.
Robinhood is a bad trading platform, there is so many ways I can improve it, but I don't want to because you chose to ghost me.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.

Question 1
don't remember exactly the question but graph related?
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?
