I used Hired to look for new positions in the market and applied for this Mobile Apps Engineer role at Zillow Group.

First stage was a quick recruiter call. The next stage was a 40-minute call with the Hiring Manager, consisting of iOS experience and iOS technical questions.

The next step was a take-home test that required building an app with a UICollectionView. It had to be completed in an hour.

After 3 or 4 days, I got contacted for next steps and scheduled the on-site interview at Zillow offices in SF.

The interview went from 1 PM to 5 PM and consisted of:

• One round with an Android engineer (mostly experience).
• One round with a Product Manager (mostly resume questions).
• Three rounds with iOS Engineers asking iOS questions using the whiteboard.

These were not really LeetCode/algorithm questions but mostly iOS knowledge with a bit of CS fundamentals.

The take-home test consisted of building an app using a UICollectionView that fetched images from the server.

The onsite interview was mainly iOS technical questions using the whiteboard; describing the building of a chat app, a contacts app, etc.
