J'ai postulé en personne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Zscaler (Bengaluru) en août 2024
Entretien
HR kept rescheduling the interview for 2 weeks. The interviewer was a director of engineering and was very professional and patiently answered my questions as well. Got rejected before technical round though.

General leadership related questions you've heard before already.
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Zscaler en juin 2024
Entretien
1. Call with the recruiter --> just data gathering
2. Call with hiring manager --> Conversation about my experience, current projects, etc. He was a zscaler veteran, but was very understanding and eager to listen to my projects and explain their product and its future.
3. Then came the panel interview on 3 different days. The interview panel was a group of people with 10+ years experience in zscaler. I have given interviews in similar places, but here I felt an arrogant tone and entitlement
Questions d'entretien [3]
Question 1
Questions about a recent big project, some sample Java coding, very superficial.
Again some more details about projects, more of a deep dive into projects. The interviewer was from India, so I had to schedule a late-night interview. The interviewer was with the company for about 12 years, so he was showing some attitude initially, once I explained about the complexity of my projects and showcased my level of understanding about the problems I was working with, he was eased a bit and talked to me nice. The interviewer also asked me to code in Java just to understand my level of comfort in Java,
The question was to write a decision-maker routine that would determine if the service has to route the request to cache or to the db.
The 3rd-panel interview was the worst. The interviewer was with zscaler for 15 years. He was traveling to India, so I had to schedule an early morning interview. His attitude was worse. HE was talking to me like, everything I wrote in my resume was fake. The conversation did not begin with a tone where he genuinely wanted to know what I know, instead he was trying to have his gotcha moment! Grow up ppl.
A deep dive into projects again and a java question.
Get top N transactions of a particular type. Write methods to ingest transactions and get transactions. The returned transaction would have details if the txn is elible for rewards. good question,
J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Zscaler (San Jose, CA) en juin 2021
Entretien
3 rounds of technical + hiring manager. Tailored to the level - not just algorithmic problems. Non-programatic problems come from the real job challenges which makes them interesting and relevant. Interviewers are respectful, punctual and engaged.
