1. Requested report from codesignal, first time got level 7 and got the interview
2. 1 round virtual technical interview via Karat. 45 mins total with 20 mins system design 25 mins coding. There is an option for a redo and I did it, but next time the system design changed to cs knowledge questions cs knowledge(oop, sql, network, security) . I really don't know why they ask system design questions on new grads.

I applied online. I interviewed at Robinhood (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Codesignal OA -> Recruiter Phone Call -> Super day
The codesginal is a GCA and the phone call has the usual behavioral questions and they ask you about familiar programming languages.
I applied online. I interviewed at Robinhood (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2022
Interview
Standard tech company process. Recruiters are very friendly and communicative. 1. Recruiter call 2. Technical phone screen 3. Onsite (1. DSA, 2. System Design, 3. Project deep dive, 4. Hiring manager call)
I wouldn't underestimate the coding challenge! The first couple questions were straightforward, but the second two felt like Leetcode hard. Be sure to complete the first questions quickly so you can spend a majority of your time on the harder questions.
