New Grad Software Engineer Interview Experience
Process
I applied online and received an invitation for a CodeSignal assessment. The assessment was quite easy, and I scored approximately 840.
The next step was a phone screen conducted by Karat. I was asked some multiple-choice and short-answer questions, similar in format to those on the Triplebyte assignment.
After that, I had a recruiter call where we discussed my interest in RH, my technical focus, and details about the role.
The final round consisted of three interviews: algorithms, coding, and system design. I was required to sign an NDA before this stage, so I cannot provide in-depth details about the questions asked. This was undoubtedly the most challenging part, but it was also a great opportunity to speak with engineers and gain insight into the work environment at RH. They were also very helpful in providing guidance.
Overall, the interview process was extremely smooth, with prompt response times.
Questions
I signed an NDA and am not sure exactly what I can disclose, so I will not say anything.

Robinhood Work Experiences
- 4.0Great Company, but not the best place to startSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesJune 20, 2021Pros: Great Mission and Culture Friendly TeammatesCons: Lots of Ongoing Restructuring You have to find projects yourself.
- 2.0High pay, high pressure, low securitySenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeAugust 25, 2025Pros: Compensation and benefits are competitive, and you'll experience a well-known fintech brand and modern tech stack.Cons: My contract was terminated just before the end of the probationary period, with little actionable feedback provided beforehand. The culture prioritizes speed and delivery over quality, collaboration, and mentorship. I even received an excellent review a week before my termination, but what was highlighted as positive during that review later was stated as something that I lacked. Colleagues often go behind your back instead of fostering transparency and inclusion. During interviews, I asked a senior engineer to name one negative thing about Robinhood that might make him consider leaving. He admitted: “There’s a lot of work and pressure, but they pay well. Still, they eventually let go of people anyway, and I’m sure they’ll do it to me too. I’ve accepted that.” That mindset speaks volumes about the company’s culture and the lack of job security. I relocated for this position in good faith and now have to deal with the financial impact.
- 3.0Product growth is strong, but management needs improvementSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeToronto, ONJuly 8, 2026Pros: There was a lot of product expansion to regions.Cons: There was poor management and a focus on diff count. The work can be super interesting or mundane, depending on the team.
