I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Realtor.com
Interview
Team of thorough nonprofessional interviewers. It left a very negative image of the working culture of this company on me. Overall difficulty of interview is medium.
>2 Telephone interview
>Oniste [ 4-5 rounds all Technical, No behavioral question , few scenario based question though like How would you weigh X pounds with Y weights]
I was pretty clear to deny the offer if it comes..
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Following steps:
1. Recruiter Call explaining the role and took slots for first telephone technical interview.
2. Telephone Technical-1: [Came 15 minutes late, different person than the one initially scheduled] Simple Friend Circle question [Union Find] or [Array Manipulation] or [Hash Map]. I did it with HashMap. Interviewer was not able to understand the logic. Then I showed him result to prove that my solution works at same time and space complexity as you are expecting. He only knew python, I did it in Java. Argued about on function of HashMap where he was wrong. I am not expecting interviewer to know everything but why arguing on something which you don't know [I heard tying noise in background and realized he is doing Google :)... ]
3. Telephone [ Again Came 10 minutes late, different person than the one initially scheduled]: Fortunately, she is fine. Asked one tree question [kth highest element] and another medium level question about Graph colouring [ Discussion only]
4. Onsite:
a. Interviewer was so nice. Asked me to design my current project. Asked to program medium level programming question in Java [White board] related to arrays
b. Java related code snippets [predict output] Extremely rude. One question - interleaving print two string abcd, efg >> aebfcgd
c. Discussion over - Lunch: Asked design my current project again ... Asked few questions about Distributed system in details. I liked the drilling. He wanted to go in depth but unfortunately he himself was not aware of technologies and terminologies. I had to explain him basic terms.
d. Manager round: This was smooth. Some non technical questions.
e. Technical Coding; Very hostile interview. This was the worst interview round I ever appeared. He asked me a question which was technology specific (could be done using Java Reflections only]. I never worked on Reflections earlier. then gave me a coding question for rotation of array . . I coded properly with transpose. He then changed it to array shifting. I coded by breaking and reversing array.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Realtor.com (Washington, DC)
Interview
The hiring manager interview for a backend engineer role at Realtor.com was unfortunately a poor experience. Despite clearly outlining my backend expertise, the interviewer persistently focused on ML, leading to a significant mismatch with the role's expectations conveyed by the recruiter. The interaction felt unproductive and somewhat unwelcoming.

Question 1
How is the feature store designed and how does ML process data within it?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Realtor.com (Kelowna, BC) in Jun 2022
Interview
The interview process was quite thorough from a technical perspective, and in line with what you would expect from most large companies. Some positive highlights were the opportunity to have a quick chat with people I would work directly with, having the opportunity to understand the culture of the company as well as an interview process allows, and at least touch base with people in related areas to the main daily work thread.

Question 1
Interview questions were in line with standard market practices, with also some open ended conversations. Be prepared to talk clearly about previous projects, and make sure to brush up on general algorithms development and problem solving.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Realtor.com
Interview
- Was reached out by external recruiter and after that with lead tech person and did initial interview about my background. In both cases I've expressed my concern that I come from different tach stack that company does. In both cases each one of them reassured it was fine by the company.
- Next step was home assignment (pretty common algo question with couple solutions + utnitests) where I spend few hours of my life. Got confirmation its done very well and team eager to meet me.
- Scheduled 4 hours interview with 3 different interviewers one after another in same day and then communication details were not sent to me.
- As a result 2 interviewers didn't showed up at all
- After rescheduling one of them didn't showed up second time (great way to improve first impression)
- So basically my vacation day (since interview with this company was very important to me) scheduled for interview was just thrown away.
- The most ridiculous part: on a initial interview I've mentioned I come with different tech background than required, but was reassured it is ok. Feedback on rejection was that I've received was: candidate has no experience in our field.
Most unprofessional recruitment process that I've seen in whole my career (8+ years in the field).
