I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Robinhood (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Check out the reviews for their software engineering interviews to see how candidates are ghosted by the recruiters--I had the same experience. I actually enjoyed the on-site interview. The people asked great questions and they were clearly good at their jobs. However, after on-site everything just went radio silent. The recruiter promised to respond within 1 week, but it's been 6 weeks and I've heard nothing, no yay or nay, despite sending them 2 follow-up emails. I've never had a company just go poof on me like this, and this is after all the time I put in to do their take-home, technical screening and on-site. Tells you something about their culture.

Question 1
How do you interpret the coefficients of a logistic regression model?
A former colleague recommended me for the Data Scientist position at Robinhood, which led to an initial phone screen. The technical round was intense, featuring a challenging SQL question about user trading volume and a design question for an A/B test. The time I spent on prachub.com helped significantly; I had just worked on similar scenarios, so it felt familiar. After a few days, I received an offer, which I gladly accepted. The overall experience was tough but rewarding, and I was thrilled to join the team.
The first round was a VI with a senior data engineer. Technical interview, with one Python question and two SQL questions. The interviewer was really nice, and gave lots of hints and instructions.

Question 1
One Python question and two SQL questions. The problem is relative to the real world.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Robinhood in Mar 2022
Interview
A recruiter reached out, had a recruiter call, then was directed to complete a timed assessment within 2 weeks. 3 hour time limit. Completed the assessment, then got a rejection email saying they don't give feedback. If I would have known that beforehand I wouldn't have bothered. Company seems to be headed downhill anyway. Stay away imo.
