Working at Zillow has always been a dream of mine and was really excited to see a Sr Data Scientist role that seemed like a really good fit. I submitted an application through Zillow's career portal. A recruiter replied after a couple of weeks and set up a initial phone call. He asked me a few question about the usual things recruiters ask at this stage (i.e. how much do you make, are you legally authorized to work in the US, why Zillow?...). Then he set up a technical phone screening with a Senior Data Scientist. The screening went well. I've done several phone interviews over my career and I can tell with a large degree of confidence how well/poorly I perform. Did I completely nailed it? No. But was it a performance worthwhile an onsite follow up? Yes, at least for most tech companies I've interviewed with (Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Facebook,...). Anyways, I never heard back from anyone at Zillow. Neither the recruiter, nor the guy scheduling the interviews (who, by the way, wrote that the recruiter would have been in contact with me within one week time). I understand that we're all busy, but even though Zillow certainly has a large pool of applicants and can be picky about their selection, it it really that hard to have a canned email (thanks for your interest, bla bla, but we have decided to pursue other candidates that seem a better fit bla bla) to close out the loop? Zillow seems like a great company that cares about their employees, maybe start showing you also care about people in general.
