I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zillow in Apr 2014
Interview
I went through 2 phone interviews before being asked to come in for the face-to-face interview. I am pretty sure the phone interviews were to evaluate your excitement level and phone voice before moving forward. (So have good energy) I had three interviews back to back. The first two were with floor managers. I was asked to sell something that I sold in my past job and WHY I WAS GOOD FOR ZILLOW! Then the final interview was with the OC office sales manager which was were the expectations of this job were clearly outlined. Intense interview but prepared me for the job.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zillow (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2016
Interview
All in all, the process took about two weeks. I was contacted by a recruiter within 48 hours of applying online. The conversation lasted about 10 minutes and was focused on my knowledge of the position, my current situation and skills. Two days later I had a second, more focused phone interview with a sales manager. This conversation focused on how my experience directly relates to the position. This call lasted 20-30 minutes. After another two days I had my on-site interview and met with three different employees. This lasted around 1.5 hours and focused on my past employment, current employment, and how I would excel at the position.

Interview
Applied online. Contacted about a week later. Began with the recruiter with a 20 min conversation about expectations regarding the position. If found to be a good fit, they push you to the 2nd phone interview. This one lasted about 20-30min. Posed more experience based questions that ensured a complete understanding of the role and its responsibilities. A day later I received a follow-up e-mail with a choice time to schedule the final interview with 3 different Managers (VP of Sales, GM, and a Sales Manager). All were very in depth questions regarding past work history and ensuring a complete understanding of the role and its responsibilities. Role played: sales pitch to test the knowledge of the product and see if there is a fluidity to the sales cycle.

I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Zillow (Irvine, CA) in Sep 2015
Interview
I found the job posting on indeed.com for the inside sales consultant position. I applied online and received an email the next day from a recruiting coordinator asking a few questions and requesting the days and times I was available for a phone interview. I had a 15-20 min phone interview with a different recruiter out of the Seattle office a week later. The next day I had a phone interview with a sales executive manager out of the Irvine Office. I was scheduled to come in the next business day for an in-person interview in the Irvine Office with 2 sales managers and the director. I heard back the next business day from the recruiter and was offered the position. I came close to the cut off period so my process was expedited.
