I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zendesk (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
Quick, open, had lunch during the interview - made it less formal. Enjoyed that I got to meet a variety of people. Some of the interviews were remote and ran into technical issues. Did not receive a tour of the office.
I applied online. I interviewed at Zendesk (Singapore) in Feb 2026
Interview
very long and tiring process, have to keep chasing and reminding to follow up on next step and stage, while no proactive response through weeks and weeks of wait. Eventually it seems the entire interview process was just 4 rounds spread across 4 months

Question 1
Asked to share the strategy to grow sales in the region
1 entrevista con un supervisor online y duró como 30 minutos.
Conversación muy rápida y la persona que me entrevistó no tenía mucha voluntad de conocerme mas, muy flojo.
Contesté todo lo que me preguntó y luego ya no me llamó ni mandó mensaje para siguiente seguimiento.

Interview
I had a phone screening with a women, and I thought it went well. We went forward and I had another interview with someone, and followed up with them after. They said that they would get back to me in two weeks, and then I was ghosted and every email I sent to the recruiters did not go through.
