Process
The interview was a classic corporate interview.
It included:
- 4 hours
- 1 OOP question (this was the toughest)
- 1 algorithm (LeetCode medium)
- 1 game logic question
- 1 logical thinking interview
- 1 culture fit interview
Overall, it was difficult for an interview geared towards bootcamp grads. Also, be prepared for Java-minded OOP. I had to restructure the code given for JavaScript, and the interviewer didn't know JS.

Pros: I have really enjoyed the people and culture since joining Redfin. It is a talented, diverse, and caring group that cares about making good products and taking care of each other. I have been encouraged at every step to take initiative on projects and work that I think are important to the continued growth and improvement of the organization.
Cons: The engineering side has built up an impressive product stack, but is feeling some growing pains as they scale both the platform and the team size. But despite being sometimes frustrating, these are overall good problems to have.
