I applied through other source. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Opendoor in Jul 2022
Interview
I responded to an outreach email and had a screening call with a recruiter, followed by a conversation and technical screen with the team's technical lead. I had a followup call afterwards to discuss some more questions I had about the role before moving to the onsite interview. The onsite interview consisted of three technical screens (system design, backend, frontend) followed by a chat with a product manager and the general manager overseeing the greater org. I went through all the interviews and got a call stating they would like to make me an offer. I had a couple of negotiation calls, then waited for two weeks with no response. After emailing to ask for an update, I was told that the team was now interviewing other candidates. The week after that, I had a call with a recruiter who informed me that the team was now in fact no longer hiring for the position anymore, but that I would be able to talk to the hiring manager of another team doing very similar work, and if the conversation went well, work for that team without having to go through the interview process again. After the conversation with the second hiring manager, I never heard from the company again.

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Opendoor
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 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.
