Process
Zillow recruiters found my resume in the Grace Hopper Resume Database and reached out to me with an invitation to apply and interview.
The whole process was super quick. I had my first round a week later, the final round the next day, and a decision by the following week.
The recruiters were super friendly and responsive. They provided a lot of information about the interview, so you didn't walk in without knowing what to expect.
Both interviews were technical:
- The first interview included one LeetCode Easy problem.
- The second interview included three LeetCode Easy-Medium problems.
Overall, I loved the experience.

Zillow Work Experiences
- 2.0Good Perks, Bad ManagementSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeAugust 15, 2022Pros: Good location, good benefit, good peak.Cons: Stupid management, especially middle-level or direct-level in the rental team.
- 1.0Beware of StreetEasySoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeFebruary 14, 2023Pros: Pay, benefits, DTO, stocks (although they're not worth much anymore).Cons: StreetEasy Engineering's upper management and leadership is staggeringly inept and unethical. They have cultivated a toxic and hostile culture, exactly at odds with their supposed corporate principles. Dissent is not tolerated, underlings are blamed for their boss's failures, and loyalty is rewarded over merit.
- 1.0Single-minded train wreckSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesJuly 5, 2022Pros: - Low expectations. - Flexible remote hours.Cons: Senior leadership drove this bus blindly off a cliff and wants us plebs to believe in their vision. Single-minded, Seattle-based, politically charged, exclusive, ridiculing culture. Hires skin colors instead of talent in a repeatedly blatant, evidenced violation of the law by mandate from the highest levels of corporate leadership. Comp is much higher for new hires than for the people teaching them to do their jobs. "If you're in this meeting, you didn't get fired." Changing directions too quickly to ever complete anything.
