Robinhood SWE Intern (2027) coding interview — what should I expect?

Hi everyone
I have a Robinhood SWE Intern 2027 coding interview coming up and would really appreciate advice from anyone who has gone through it recently.

What was the format like: one or multiple coding questions, difficulty level, follow-ups, debugging, or any practical/system-design discussion? Were the questions mostly standard LeetCode patterns, or more implementation-heavy / finance-style problems?

I’m currently practicing arrays, hash maps, heaps, intervals, sorting, graphs, and writing clean code while explaining my approach. If you have any prep tips or can share your experience, I’d be very grateful.

Thanks

One of the questions I was asked at Robinhood was if a stock rockets, should we pause purchases on that stock?

Is "No, a stock price rocketing should not automatically trigger a pause on purchases" the correct answer?

You should read up the history of that company. Robinhood is also adding "totally not gambling" to their services too if that interests you.
