I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zillow (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2016
Interview
I met with 4 people, for roughly an hour each. I also got fed lunch, which was an unexpected surprise. I was not sure how long the interview would be before I went. I did not get the position, but got the nicest message from the recruiter I was working with. They liked me, but wanted more management experience for the person filling the role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about my technical background and questions related to interpersonal conflicts. I did have a white board coding question, in addition to more traditional GIS questions.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Zillow in Mar 2016
Interview
Phone interview with recruiter was an extremely positive experience. Phone interview with Manager was a really negative experience, as if he was forced to interview me. Apparently the room reservation ended or something, but he ended the interview very fast and said "gonna go, bye".
The recruiter sent me on same day a message and told me that my background was isn't what they are looking for. At the end, I got the nicest message from the recruiter I was working with.
