The interview started with a recruiter phone call. About a week later I had a technical phone screen and I felt like the interview was more collaborative than most tech screens, which was nice. I went in for an onsite interview about 2 weeks later. There were 4 or 5 interviews and it was super collaborative and I felt like there was a lot more interest in how well you could communicate than other prior onsites I've had. All the interviewers were friendly and it didn't feel like there were any trick questions. Overall a great interview experience
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

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.
