I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Realtor.com (New York, NY) in Feb 2021
Interview
Contacted by third party recruiter for an initial phone screen. Follow-up a few days later from technical lead for ~1 hour long conversation. Follow-up after by hiring manager with ~1 hour phone interview and 30 minute technical test.
Found out about a week after the technical interview that they had decided not to move forward with my application.
The experience overall was okay. I was somewhat relieved when they declined to move forward because I was also having reservations about the job at that point. I saw on glassdoor.com that they had some recent layoffs, and I was concerned about that. Also, the position itself seemed like the problems I was solving would get old fast, and I didn't see how what I did would add value to the company over the course of years (could I get laid off?).

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.

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).
