I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Houzz (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
I applied on the company site and immediately got a response from the recruiter asking to schedule a call. Once we were through with the initial call we scheduled a telephonic technical interview. Interviewer gave a brief introduction on what he does and asked me about my background. I have been doing the same work as the interviewer so communication was not a problem. Then interviewer asked me a very basic technical questions and I answered it well. I provided 2 ways to solve the problem and asked interviewer if he has a preference on what approach I should demonstrate. I even wrote working code.
One thing that bothers me a lot is i know the answer and approach to solve the problem was correct. Still next day I received a standard script from the recruiter saying they are not moving forward and stuff. This seems like waste of time.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Houzz (Kathmandu) in Mar 2023
Interview
Rejected in home assignment. The assignment was done very well and was even deployed in AWS. But they said it was not as per their expectation. Atleast they should give chance in technical interview round.
The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Houzz
Interview
One of the most un-organized organizations . Recruiters doesn’t have any professionalism. Wasted more than a month on interview stages and then recruiter informed me that application has been put on hold. It will take ages to get response from recruiter. This reflects what kind of environment and culture houzz will give. Luckily they show their true face in interview round itself.

Interview
Recruiter ghosted me and did not respond to texts at scheduled time. Very unprofessional and unexpected behavior for this organization. Glad NOT to interview further with this them and their poor communication ways.
