      Novi Sad
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Zendesk (Novi Sad) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of three stages: a recruiter screening, a hiring manager interview, and a technical evaluation. The recruiter call focused on background, motivation, remote collaboration experience, and overall cultural fit. The hiring manager interview explored past projects, ownership, decision-making approach, and alignment with team expectations. The technical evaluation assessed problem-solving ability, code quality, and system design thinking, including scalability and trade-offs. Overall, the process was structured, transparent, and balanced technical depth with cultural alignment.
