I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zillow (New York, NY) in Sept 2023
Interview
The interview process was quite bad. Wasted my time completely. Have tried for nearly two weeks to schedule an interview, then, after finally scheduling the final interviews, I get an email two days before that the position is no longer available. I was genuinely looking for something with them, and delayed some other offers to do these interviews. My fault. Very off-putting system. But I get it, stuff happens. What I am largely frustrated by was the recruiter's inability to respond to me. It was like he had some bitter vitriol towards responses. Mind you, over the past month or so, I have sent him several emails/texts to try and get something going. Not *ONE* response. Not a measly, lone, singular response.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The recruiter assured me that the question would not be a leetcode type question. I got a leetcode-ish type of question, but not really. The question involved processing some strings, getting the results, and filtering the results based on some criteria. Honestly an easy question, they were just looking for programming knowledge and if you could build a relatively simple system. Interviewer was pretty chill.
