      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zillow in Mar 2016

      Interview

      Had a 20-minute phone screen that went really well. We scheduled a 30-minute technical phone interview a couple of days later. The technical phone interview started off poorly because for some reason their code-sharing service wasn't working, so they had me use this other service that was just as useful as using Notepad (no code help or previewing your solution at all). The first half was pretty easy CSS and HTML, and I feel like I aced all of those questions. The final question was a JavaScript problem. Something like "given an array of arrays return the values back to the user in a single array, but in a particular order" (basically a1[0], a2[0], a3[0], a1[1], a2[1], a3[1], a1[2], a2[2], a3[2], etc). I'm pretty comfortable with vanilla JavaScript but in that moment I was wrapped up in why they would want the answer returned in that order. Without being able to preview my work anywhere it was difficult. After I finally landed on what I *thought* might be a solution, the interviewer then said he had no more questions; and that's when I knew I was done for. After the interview I spent a few minutes of my time coming up with an actual solution that worked (I double-checked it on a test page I made), and I emailed it to the interviewer and explained that writing JS with no way to preview it is difficult, but when given a chance I can come up with a solution to any problem. I never heard back from him, and 8 days later the Zillow recruiter emailed me stating they went with other candidates.

      Question 1

      Something like given an array of arrays return the values back to the user in a single array, but in a weird order (basically a1[0], a2[0], a3[0], a1[1], a2[1], a3[1], a1[2], a2[2], a3[2], etc).

      Thank you for your feedback and sorry our code sharing platform was buggy the day you had a screen! I'm sorry to hear things didn't work out, but appreciate the time you spent with us and for sharing your feedback. Annie - VP Recruiting

      I applied online. I interviewed at Zillow in Apr 2021

      Interview

      Recruiter contacted me by phone, scheduled for a Hacker rank with a interviewer. Response was quick enough. Got into virtual onsite. Took 3 hacker ranks and 1 system designing interview. First round so odd that I was asked to code in React even after saying them that I don't have experience in React. 1st Interviewer wants me to build some react component in 15 min-20 min which is no way possible. Second Round same hacker rank she did not even prepare to ask me a question and she herself did not understand the question what she is asking. She asked me to do that in React as well as in Javascript. I asked if I can use hashmaps, she insisted not to use that, however I solved that. 3rd round with a Development Manager who seems cool and asked me a medium to hard algo which I solved, he was satisfied with the answer. 4th round with Hiring Manager who asked me to design a Zillow App. Overall I got disappointed with the interview process and Interviewers. Finally Recruiters turn around time is 1 day. But its your responsibility to follow-up and ask what's happening, So that Recruiter will let you know that you did not get selected. I would give negative 10 if we have such kind of rating. Every interviewer seems Friendly and smooth only for talking and none were helpful. Funniest thing is Apart from Hiring Manager not even a single interviewer from the same team.
