Phone interview went really well, but the first department interview was useless. Met with someone who was asked to cover the position until they hired someone and would end up being a direct report. This individual had no understanding of strategic planning or creating roadmaps. Most of the questions were about how I'd manage the team. Personally I do not think that the first interview should be with one direct report. It can be later, but with more than one (as their opinion was the only one). Not impressed Zillow!

Started with a phone screening with the recruiter. After that it was a 30 minute phone call with the hiring manager who decided to bring me onsite. The onsite interviews were 1:1s for 30-45 minutes each. Overall the interview was enjoyable and covered a broad range of skills required for the role.
