I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Houzz in Jun 2016
Interview
Applied online and was contacted via email the next day. They wanted to set up a phone interview with me to hear about my experience and skills. During the phone interview I explained my journey and what I have had to do in order to get to this point in my life. When I told the interviewer when I graduated high school and then the year I graduated from college, she said "So it took you 6 years to compete college?" At this point I am just so offended and thrown off as to why she would even say something like that. I'm sorry, but I had to pay for college all on my own and it was through hard work and dedication that I got into the school of my dreams so yeah it took me 6 years but that is not an indication of my work ethic or how I handle situations. This phone interview was by far the worst one that I have ever experienced.

Question 1
What organizations or clubs were you affiliated with in college?
Why did you apply to Houzz?
Why should we choose you?
Where do you see yourself in the next three years?
Met with recruiter then hiring manager and team lead manager I would be working with. Pretty fast overall process once they have reached out to you. Several quick questions about experience and then metrics into their company and what the role entails.
It was an efficient process. One phone interview with their recruiter and then an in person interview with a manager. Role playing was part of the interview process (the manager gave me a specific complaint and I had to resolve the customer’s problem).

Interview
Thorough but comfortable! I had multiple interviews, but everyone was very personable. They requested an at home typing speed test (to be completed after the first interview) and asked me to email the results to the recruiter.
