Process

I met them at a career fair and had an on-campus interview later that day. A week later, I was told I would be flown up to their office for an on-site interview.

The recruiter was fantastic in scheduling everything and calling to make sure everything was okay. They put you up in a great hotel quite close to their office.

The on-site interview is then with the team you would be working with. The first two interviews were with engineers who have been there for a few years, while the last interview is with your would-be boss. That engineer has been there for quite a long time.

There's also the lunch portion of the interview, where you're taken to a restaurant and get to order even a dessert if there's enough time.

I declined the offer because I received another offer from a company that was my top choice. Redfin's compensation is fantastic and up to par, and if not better than most companies around the Bay Area for internships in software engineering. I'll definitely consider them again later in my career.

Questions

I can't say since they're closed under the NDA.

If you know how software engineering interviews are, this is nothing different.

Just keep practicing, as the questions really do test you!
