Robinhood application questions — all 34, word for word

A government official is any person that performs a public function on any level or acts in any official capacity on behalf of a government or government owned entity. a) Do you currently hold or have you held, within the last 5 years, a position as a government official? b) Have you been referred or recommended for this position by a government official? c) Are you related to or have a close personal relationship with a government official?”.
The eligibility questions
These are required, and answered from a fixed list rather than in your own words: work authorisation, visa sponsorship or security clearance. Employers often use questions like these to filter applications automatically, but Greenhouse's public data does not say whether Robinhood does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.

Before you apply
Have the answers to the required questions ready before you open the form — Robinhood's asks for 26 of them, and Greenhouse does not save a partial application by default. Settle the eligibility questions first — they are the ones with no room to elaborate, so knowing your answer before you start tells you whether the rest of the form is worth your time.
