      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      26 Apr 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Irvine, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Zillow (Irvine, CA) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      HR phone, then project, then a tech phone, then onsite. Zillow is crazy. They are so cheap during the whole interview process. I am from a different city. I expect the company would pay for my flights, hotel and one day meal, as companies would normally do. They didn't even ask to book a flight or hotel for me. They didn't even try to ask if I need anything for traveling. They know I am from a different city. Instead, they try to utilize the fact that I was interviewing other companies to avoid booking me a flight. If I didn't ask and confirm firmly that I need a hotel to stay, I would have to pay for the hotel by myself. And, they refuse to reimburse my taxi fee from airport to their company. What?! I really don't know any other companies that would do this to their candidates. No, just Zillow. I suggest they change the name to TheLow!!

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Zillow

      Interview

      Proceso de MESES de coordinacion donde te cancelan las entrevistas apenas instantes antes. Personalmente, entre a una de ellas y la reclutadora insistio en que el entrevistador habia entrado "y yo no", cuando si habia entrado. Completamente una falta de respeto. Su proceso de coordinacion y reforzamiento para que los entrevistadores no esten haciendo tanto rescheduling es PESIMO.
