I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Robinhood in Jul 2025
Interview
Applied via job board, recruiter reached out directly.
Had the usual HR phone screen where the process was explained. After that, I received a prep document stating the first-round tech screen might cover React, Javascript, HTML, CSS, DOM, and that it would not be algorithmic in nature.
However, the actual interview did not include React at all. Instead, it focused on vanilla JavaScript with an emphasis on more algorithmic and core JS concepts: setTimeout, throttling, batching, bundling, and working with promises. (There was an event listener thrown in--the closest it got to what the prep doc described)
I did not progress beyond this stage.
Screening call with HR, then a technical interview. The person who scheduled my interview was a different person than who I screened with; I was told to prepare for a white-boarding session in the invite but it ended up being a coding session, so I was not well prepared. Interviewer was late to the session as they were not aware it was in their calendar. I felt rushed during the coding session and was constantly interrupted while trying to think.
The question itself was at least well conceived and relevant, and the interviewer provided good context about what outcomes they were looking for.
