      Jan 22, 2022
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zendesk

      Interview

      Interviewed with 4 engineers on team and adjacent teams. 1 with senior management. No trick questions, principal engineer asked me open ended question to determine my level it seemed. Interviews consisted of architectural questions and past projects. Some template questions. Some interviews seemed like a meet and greet, like I already had the job. Everyone seemed very happy and interesting - good sign that they are not over worked and that they feel valued at this company. Senior management gave me more details and confirmed my offer with H.R. Offer after 2 weeks.
