Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Started with a recruiter call, basically talking about my experiences and what the company did.
Afterwards, I moved to a technical screen where I was asked a set of coding problems (standard).
I was then asked to an all-day onsite. I was asked to bring my laptop and was assigned a room where four different engineers came to ask me front-end and back-end coding assignments in a pair-programming scenario. The last one was a system architecture question. Lunch was in between with a hiring manager.
Questions
Build a component with React, as specified by the interviewer.

Opendoor Work Experiences
- 5.0A great product and a culture that's trying to do betterSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeAugust 11, 2020Pros: I get to work on a product that I think is actually really great with people whom I enjoy. The benefits are solid. Company culture is something that is being worked toward in genuine ways rather than typical startup "here's a ping-pong table" band-aids. I feel comfortable speaking up when I see issues and listened to when I do so.Cons: Generally the biggest issues have stemmed out of growing pains. Cross-team collaborations can be really difficult to manage because everyone has different short-term goals they need to hit. That said, I do feel like there are people in the company who are genuinely working to make things better, and they have gotten better since I've been with the company.
- 5.0Flexibility and OwnershipSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeJaipur, RajasthanMarch 15, 2023Pros: Ownership over the tasks and services; Flexible work timings; Newer tech-stack with Golang and React; Standard supporting development tools and applications.Cons: Could not find as of now.
- 2.0Not good place for engineers if you care WLB and career growthSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeFebruary 3, 2022Pros: Nice to communicate with the team and cross functions.Cons: Like the other reviews said, no one cares about doing the right thing. They only suck up to the manager and do things quickly. Everything is quite messy, and there is no ownership. You might be blamed by upper management when they expect you to do work in an unreasonably short period of time, even when there is no documentation and no one that you could ask. The code was a mess.
