I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zendesk (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
The recruiter was exceptionally organized and followed through at all stages. I interviewed with her over the phone, then the hiring manager on the phone, and then came on-site for 4 interviews (2 of which were conducted over skype.) All the interviewers were easy to talk to and a more conversational style. I had one more Skype interview after that and was updated almost daily by the recruiter with logistics and timelines moving forward. Best interview experience I have had to date!
