I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Redfin in Jan 2023
Interview process was straightforward and started with a scheduled call with the recruiter/hiring coordinator, who gathers info about you to see if you fit the needs of the role, touches on compensation and shares the basics of the job. Lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. Within a few days of that call, an interview was scheduled with the Team Manager for the market, as well as an interview with the Regional Manager. Each interview was about 45 minutes, and they ask pretty standard questions, and also expect that you have questions about the role and the company for them too. There was one more virtual interview with both managers and the recruiter all together. Within a week, an offer was extended, and response expected pretty quickly, like within 2 or 3 days.
