Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

February 1, 2015
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had a phone screen and then a take-home coding assignment. From a source inside the company, I heard that the team liked my coding sample, but nevertheless, I didn't hear back officially for three weeks. This resulted in a form-letter no-hire, and I didn't receive any feedback on the assignment.

It's generally considered good form for tech companies to provide feedback on take-home assignments, especially if they take several hours to complete. Therefore, it was disappointing for Zillow to demonstrate in this way that they didn't value my time as a candidate.
