      Engineering Manager Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Belgrade, Central Serbia
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zendesk (Belgrade, Central Serbia) in Jan 2024

      Interview

      1) Spoke with the Recruiter - Perfect 1.1) Email exchange with another recruiter - pretty smooth 2) Had an interview with the director of engineering - Also was great 3) Interview with the team - had a good time speaking with them But at the end - nothing Wrote a letter to a first recruiter, got autoreply that he’s no longer working in Zendesk and he also included the email of his substitute. I reached out the substitute, never received an answer After a week reached out to the second recruiter that I spoke with - again, no answer Although the interview process was great, the result (I was ready for the rejection, so that’s not the case) was complete silence from their side which is shame IMO

      Engineering Manager Interview

      Sep 30, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Singapore
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zendesk (Singapore) in Sep 2021

      Interview

      Lots of interviews, very nice panel overall. Very nice to talk to and they explain what they expect in the role etc. Total of 6 interviews including the intro. And can range from 45mins to 1hr/1.5hr. Overall good experience. The decision making is a bit interesting. They normally go through entire set of interviews to give feedback. And if you are not a good "fit", you will be rejected at the end. Which I feel a bit disappointing, considering if you see another candidate performing well, you can probably let go of other in interest of time and effort for the applicant.
