September 1, 2018
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter about the position. I had one 45-minute phone screen interview with one easy and one medium difficulty problem.

I received an invitation for an on-site interview after a week of waiting. The on-site interview consisted of four 45-minute interviews. Most of them were regarding algorithms and data structures, namely Arrays, Hash Tables, Graphs, etc.

Interviewers placed a lot of emphasis on cultural fit and Zillow's core values.

I finished most of the problems in time. I was rejected without any feedback a week later.

Questions

Binary search, topological sort, dynamic programming problems, plus each interviewer asks a few behavioral questions.
