I applied online. I interviewed at Zendesk (Lisbon, Lisbon District) in Mar 2026
Interview
My experience with the recruitment process, in particular with the local recruiter in charge, was quite disappointing. Communication from the recruiter was extremely slow: even simple requests, such as rescheduling a call (which had been postponed on their end), took several days to get a response. Additionally, the recruiter had limited knowledge about the role and was unable to clearly address questions. The interaction felt somewhat transactional, with a heavy reliance on AI automated messages rather than meaningful engagement. Overall, the whole process lacked the level of professionalism, courtesy and knowledge I would expect. Compensation for the role also appeared to be way below tech market standards.
