The Zappos Family Software Engineer interview experience

Positive

United StatesPosted May 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The first step was a phone conversation focused on checking my skill set and whether I seemed like a cultural fit.

From there, I moved into a technical phone screen with the developers I would work with.

The interviews themselves were friendly, but I learned that my salary expectations from that first conversation were too high for what they could offer. Even though the process continued with the onsite interview they wanted to proceed with, the compensation mismatch ended up being the key problem. I didn’t get an offer, and the contrast between an otherwise standard, easy process and the fast pivot due to salary expectations was what made it feel a bit frustrating.
