I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zillow (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2018
Interview
It was one phone call with the hiring manager, then an onsite round of 3 interviewers and 1 HR. I was given pretty much no choice but only one particular day to go in and interview due to team travel schedules. At the onsite, the interviews each lasted around 30 minutes, all behavioral and it almost seemed that the team wasn't trying hard to get to know me . During the HR round, the recruiter told me they were also considering an interval candidate, and the team would be debriefing right after my interviews, and she would no doubt be in touch with me with results the next day. I didn't hear from her as she promised, but instead, 3 days later, got a canned rejection email from the recruiter. I've interviewed at multiple companies but this one felt the most "not serious" and almost a waste of time.
Contacted by recruiter, call with hiring manager, dove straight into case study questions with no background or behavioral conversation. Didn't provide any feedback, no engagement from interviewer. Had to chase down recruiter to get a rejection.
