      Backend Engineer Interview

      Oct 19, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Robinhood in Oct 2020

      Interview

      I applied online and received a CodeSignal General Coding assessment, which consisted of 4 standard algorithm questions (2 easy, 1 medium, 1 hard). They contacted me for a Karat interview shortly after. The Karat interview was incredibly difficult. It started with roughly 25 conceptual questions on general programming, databases, security, and networking, where you have about a minute for each question. You are allowed to pass questions that you are unsure of in order to save time. At the end, if you finish early, you can go back to the questions you skipped. The last 30 minutes were for coding. You are supposed to go through as many questions as you can during that time span.
