I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Opendoor in Aug 2020
Interview
I don't think they' really want to hire someone, the interview questions they ask is doesn't make sense at all. I worked for several years and interviewed famous big companies and pre-IPO companies(hot startups), but no one gives me this feeling like that they don't actually want to hire, they just want to let you know how difficult the question they ask. So, if you have a choice, you don't need to interview with them at all.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a runnable complicated code which includes medium algorithm and hard operation.
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
Interview
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 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.
