I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Robinhood (Menlo Park, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
Got approached by sourcer and everything was going great before interviews. I love the app and company seemed great. Enjoyed talking with engineers, they are super nice and conversation was very pleasant. I think, did reasonably well. After interviews the process became little messy. Didn't hear from them for few weeks and then got pinged that they have not made decision yet. It was a month ago and have no idea what the results of my interviews are. I had cases before when decision was taking time, but not as long and I was always awarred what current status was.
Seems hiring is little chaotic, they are growing with a fast pace and lots of things need to be fixed in a process.
Overall, I am little disappointed with a turn the process took after interviews. I hope, my case is just an outlier.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Systems design, algorithmic and coding questions around their services. Nothing too difficult.
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.

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.
