I can honestly say that this is one of the coolest offices I've seen. The recruiter sat me down with a BC and I asked many questions, and he responded professionally and was very kind. After this exercise I was put in a small room where I would meet 3 people. Two were mangers, the last was a "Senior Member" who I thought was the most unprofessional. Why? After some dialogue I was specifically told that we "Zillow" focuses on internal candidates, and they only hire external candidates if there was a need. Well, I obviously was an external candidate, and I was floored when he told me this as I wanted to say well, what am I doing here then? For me, I knew that was the end of the interview, and It was apparent I was eliminated, but why even say that to a potential candidate? I'm a 10 year veteran in the online media space with a real estate background with great references and documented sales success, yet there was no constructive feedback why I wasn't considered. I can only chalk that up as I was an external candidate, and this is an unusual process for us, so thanks but no thanks. I felt like I was infringing on their territory. Anyways, my feedback is this. At Zillow you were ALL external candidates before someone hired you entry level or not, and to relay to your senior team that everyone should be given the chance at an opportunity regardless of age, sex, or if you are in or out of the "system" Be made aware this is a very young culture, and based on my witnessing of the sales floor, I didn't see too much diversity when age is concerned. My opinion is that they start these folks at the entry level and move them up through the chain, and if you're an outsider, they make you aware of that. The thing I would leave Zillow with is that your senior members should leave their ego at the door and treat outside candidates with respect, even for your more entry roles. I wasn't that impressed.
