I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zillow in Aug 2024
Interview
I had two interviews, the first one with HR personnel, where they asked general questions, like who I am, what did I do, availability to move, and salary range. The second interview was with the manager of the position I was applying to.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How to estimate seasonality, in the simplest way possible.
many ml and dl questions, including basic linear regression to more advanced transformer related questions. No leetcode is required for me. And reviewers give a spcific application problem, ask to design corresponding solution/algorithm.
Applied Online. Recruiter contacted me. Scheduled a first round interview with the hiring manager after 3 weeks of our initial conversation due to the slow nature of her working.
The interview with the hiring manager was one hour - included questions about machine learning and deep learning models. Also, a system design question. I thought it went well.
And then, complete ghosting. Absolutely no response from the recruited, even after multiple emails over a span of 4 weeks.
