I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Opendoor (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
The interview process was the same as always. Phone screen, online quiz, video interview, onsite. The onsite interview was too long and uncomfortable. The questions were too various and it seemed sometimes that I was interviewed for another position.

Question 1
Whiteboarding with algorithms, trees, graphs, recursive algorithms.
Failed at HR call. Profile might not be that much match, they are looking for backend leaning role but I did more front end works instead. HR might not look up my resume carefully.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Opendoor (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2025
Interview
Very easy and straightforward very nice people enjoyed the conversation that we had a lot and benefitted a lot from it so I would thank them for that
Overall the interview is structured and chill and straightforward with a pretty laid back vibe
I applied through university. I interviewed at Opendoor
Interview
There was a phone screen which was followed by an onsite interview with 4-5 interviews, some technical, others behavioral. It was interesting that they included some ML-based questions in the SWE interview. Afterward, I heard back pretty quickly.
