I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Opendoor (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2018
Interview
phone screen -> technical phone screen -> onsite. I thought the culture was really bad and wasn't excited about working with any of the people I had met. the recruiter they assigned to me was also someone who I knew from high school and she was kind of a bully back then which made me feel a little uncomfortable. I think if she was more professional she would've mentioned that she knew who I was and sent me to a different recruiter

Question 1
reverse polish notation and a question about excel spreadsheets
Failed at HR call. Profile might not be that much match, they are looking for backend leaning role but I did more front end works instead. HR might not look up my resume carefully.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Opendoor (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2025

Very easy and straightforward very nice people enjoyed the conversation that we had a lot and benefitted a lot from it so I would thank them for that
Overall the interview is structured and chill and straightforward with a pretty laid back vibe
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Opendoor
Interview
There was a phone screen which was followed by an onsite interview with 4-5 interviews, some technical, others behavioral. It was interesting that they included some ML-based questions in the SWE interview. Afterward, I heard back pretty quickly.
