I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Robinhood (Palo Alto, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
I was applying for a web development position, so the initial phone interview was using an understanding of core javascript features. The on-site was much more varied, since I have diverse experience, ranging from algorithms, systems, design to a live coding exercise for web dev.
I went into the interview not really expected to accept because I had several other great offers; but I knew the app was pretty cool so I felt I should give it a go.
Once I got on-site I found the people to be very friendly and an atmosphere of positivity and playfulness. After interacting with several more team members during lunch I knew I could expect a lovely culture. The people really care about what they are doing, and it is very exciting to work here!
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?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Robinhood (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2026
Interview
Very laidback interview process. The recruiter screen was smooth and professional. The recruiter screening was followed by 1 hour technical phone interview. Did not progress to final Virtual Onsite rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was asked a graph question. It involved DFS + memoization. Asked for hints didn’t get any. At the end interviewer tried to explain the solution (don’t know why) but could not explain and gave vague answer.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Robinhood (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2026
Interview
I initially got a recrutier call and 1 coding leetcode style technical screen round. The interview process was good. The recruiter and the person taking my technical round was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, couldn't go past the technical screen. Was able to code the solution but got errors running code. got rejection email just 30 min after interview ended.
