I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Zscaler (New Delhi) in Mar 2021
Interview
I applied through LinkedIn and the company HR called me. The zoom call interview was scheduled. The person who took my interview had 3 years of experience as a Project Manager and my experience as a Project Manager was 10 years. The interviewer had no questions to ask and wrapped my interview in 20 mins. The interviewer questioned me why I have so many job hops and what was my salary.
Advice to the HR: Please get the interviews conducted by the right people. I may not be a fit for the position but you may lose bright people because of this.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Zscaler
Interview
It was very practical. More conversation oriented than just Q&A. It went for about 60 mins and 3 rounds. And finally HR round. Interview is short, but HR things might take long.
Very easy interview . Most folks are either not too deep or don’t know lot of technical stuff. Focusing on broader aspects works. Engineers are good but product leaders are so so .
Great interview process; 4 step process involving hiring manager / recruiter / peer / panel. It wasn't very technical, more focussed on strategic initiatives and vision. Overall great experience and I ended up accepting the offer they made the next day.
