I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Robinhood (Menlo Park, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
Codesignal assessment -> Karat interview.
The Karat interview was completed with the help of external interviewers. I was asked questions pertaining to computer science trivia for the first 25 minutes, and had a graph leetcode style question for the final 25 minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a graph of courses and their prerequisites, construct a list that shows the order for which you have to take the courses.
Describe the difference between strong and eventual consistency in a database. Give an example for each.
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.

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?
