I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Zillow (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2016
Interview
I was contacted by a Zillow recruiter about a specific position. After a brief phone conversation with her, I was brought onsite to do an in-person screen with the hiring manager. During that conversation, the hiring manager asked questions to determine team fit as well as my interest in the position. I was asked two straightforward technical questions as well. After the initial screen, I was invited back to do a full loop. I met with 5 team members (two managers, two devs, and a PM) and was asked technical, business process, and team fit questions. The team was incredibly pleasant and the recruiter was very helpful throughout the whole thing. Overall, it is one of the best interview processes I've ever had.

I applied online. I interviewed at Zillow in May 2021
Interview
The interview consisted of a phone call with recruiter, then a technical coding interview before onsite. I felt the technical coding question to be very hard for an SDM candidate when the success rate for that question on Leetcode is in the 30% range.

I have interviewed at over 30 companies, and this was the best interview process I have ever had. The recruiter was very open and kept me aware and up to date with what was going on their end. When they say that they are a transparent company, they are, and I appreciated that.
