I applied online. The process took 6 weeks.

I applied for a job on the Redwood website and heard back within 1-2 weeks of applying. The recruiter reached out to me, and we had an introductory screening that lasted 30-45 minutes. A lot of the discussion was around what Redwood does, what the company is looking for, and general conversations around my experience.

Interview #2 was with one of their established engineers over the phone. The interview consisted of a mix of behavioral and technical questions.

Interview #3 was another phone screening with the department head of the group I’d be working for. The discussion was around my experience, previous projects I’ve worked on, and what my role would look like.

After the 3 phone screenings, I was brought onsite for interviews with more of their engineers that varied in experience. Those interviews were primarily behavioral questions and discussions of what my goals were for the next several years, as well as how that lined up with Redwood’s. The questions varied by the interviewer’s style. Part of the onsite was a 20-30 minute technical presentation on a topic relevant to the position you’re applying for. The presentation was in front of 8-10 of their engineers and higher-ups.

The week after the onsite, the recruiter was already in communication with me regarding my offer status. The turnaround time from the first phone screening with the recruiter to the offer was roughly 5-6 weeks.

Why do you want to work at Redwood? What drew you to our company?

There were questions around previous projects you worked on, outcomes and impacts of those projects, as well as your exact responsibilities for those projects.
