      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zscaler (Burnaby, BC) in Nov 2021

      Interview

      1. Recruiter's interview. 2. Hire manager's Inter view with couple whiteboard technical questions. 3. Three sinior managers and one senior director named Anupam something, I want to emphasize the senior diector, he came in late almost the last 10 minutes to join the party, and very rude without saying sorry to me and others. Since at the time all the managers already finished communication with me . And letting me to ask questions. With his sundden jump in, he interupted the entire conversation and started to ask questions which were already raised up by other managers, but of course he doesn't know since he's not there at the time. He started to ask whether you know this, whether you know that where quetions were so detailed but could be easily googled to get answers. So disasppointed about this company, they could treat a candidate like that disrepectful.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions from the funny senior diector: Q1: What is sack? Q2: What is 204 means? What s 204 refer to ? Q3: What is https? Difference between http and https? (Got asked three times by different managers and the funny director)

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Zscaler

      Interview

      Interview had 3 rounds - 2 technical and 1 HR. Technical interview is highly focused around networking. If you have some working knowledge of python especially testing frameworks like pytest(most my questions were around it), it will help. Technically you'll be grinded to test the depth of your knowledge in networking so prepare well. One round was with a single person and one round had 3 panelists each taking turns to ask questions around networking. In coding they asked some theoretical questions first then asked me to solve a coding problem.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - Working of TCP/IP, DNS, SSL/TLS - Difference between HTTP and HTTPS - Linux/Unix general and debugging commands eg: ps , netstat, chmod - Different response codes and their meaning - Port number for different protocols - What is fixtures, setup, teardown, lambda, array sorting question in python

      Software Engineer - QA Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zscaler (New Delhi)

      Interview

      The first interview went well but the second was an absolute disaster. Firstly I took a leave from work to give that interview and then the interviewer didn't remember about the interview. The next day I told them to schedule it a bit later as I couldn't take another leave so they did. Just a little suggestion to the HR and the companies. An interview might be a everyday thing for you or just a mundane task but for a candidate it's a life changing opportunity. Please, if you don't have the time, don't take anyone's interviewer. The lady I interviewed with was taking my interview on her phone while she was handling her kid who, btw, was crying all the way. I understand that as a mother she has responsibilities but you can't put a candidate's once in a lifetime opportunity at risk just because you have more responsibilities. I am someone's kid as well. You have every right to take care of you kids and give them time but just for some extra money you take these interviews for granted. This is extremely unprofessional behavior. Never expected this from Zscaler. Be more considerate because even your kids will face an interview someday.
