      Program Manager Interview

      19 Feb 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Irvine, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zillow (Irvine, CA) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      The interview process at Zillow was excellent. The recruitment team does a great job of making the process straightforward, painless and fun! For the program manager position, the interview started with an initial screen by the recruiter. This call took about an hour, and consisted of basic screening questions. The recruiter that I worked with was very easy to talk to, and really helped keep the conversation on topic, but in a very personable way. I left the call feeling as though the company was truly interested in my technical capabilities, but that they also cared deeply about who I am as a person, and how I would fit with their team. I am a big fan of a strong company culture, so this really resonated with me. The initial phone screening was followed up by a second phone screen, but this time by another program manager. This interview was much more technical, and for my role included deep conversations on agile methodologies and software development best practices. My interviewer was very open and very honest about any question I had for him. I deeply respected his transparency, as I often feel that in the interview process you are not always told the whole truth. I left this phone interview feeling very comfortable with the role, the current state of things, and their anticipated future goals. The two phone screens were followed up by an in-person interview at the Irvine offices. Here again, the recruitment team did an amazing job of making me feel so welcome when I first arrived. The offices are incredible - a huge game room, stocked kitchen, and open concept office (and everyone I met or passed by was very kind). The in-person interview lasted about 4 hours, but the time went by quickly. I interviewed with 4 different people, for one hour each. Each interviewer was in charge of a particular part of the software development process, so I was asked questions ranging from how to work best with junior developers, all the way over to preferred agile methodologies. The process as a whole was a pleasurable experience. If you are interested in any position at Zillow, take the leap of faith and apply (and do not fear the interview process)!

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Zillow in May 2022

      Interview

      I interviewed with this company from May 2022 to November 2022. I had to reach out multiple times to receive updates (they were restructuring) and told I was too qualified for one position, underqualified for another and asked if I would like to be kept in mind. It was a tiresome cat and mouse game that felt like they were stringing me along. The Head of the Department who I met with first never reached out to acknowledge the ups and downs of the process. I met with a total of 5 people.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Many behavioral questions and no questions where I could speak to actual experience and skill
