I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Opendoor
Interview
A recruiter got in touch with me via linkedin and asked if I'd be interested in having a conversation about the company. I said sure so we set up a time to talk. The call was introductory and high level. We talked about the company, the culture, the team, technical challenges, etc. Overall, the call was really positive. The recruiter asked me about my interest level in the company and whether or not I wanted to have a technical phone screen with one of their staff. I said absolutely. The recruiter then asked for my availability and said they'd get in touch by email the next day to confirm a time.
It's been several weeks and I haven't heard a peep. I followed up by phone and email and got no reply.
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.
