Someone reached out to me at first, and we quickly scheduled a coding phone interview. The phone interview focused mostly on Android framework knowledge. After the phone interview, I was told I was moving on to the onsite round.
This is when things started going downhill. I was passed on to another member of the hiring staff, who was supposed to help me schedule the onsite. I had major issues trying to schedule the onsite with this new person.
I had to schedule both the onsite and a pre-onsite call with this new person. I sent my availability for both the onsite and the pre-onsite chat. When it came time for the scheduled interview, they never showed up. I think this happened twice.
After the person didn't show up, they then called me at a random hour of the day (not part of my availability). I also had to send my availability for the onsite at least twice. I finally just gave up and told them I was not interested because I cannot trust a company that doesn't respect my time.
It's worth noting that it's been maybe two months since my original phone interview. Since then, companies to whom I applied AFTER my phone interview with Zillow have caught up and scheduled (and completed) onsites with me.
Android framework questions. Easy if you've worked with Android for a while.
