      Account Executive Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Zscaler (Milwaukee, WI) in Apr 2022

      Interview

      Terrible process! Only writing this in hopes management reads this. Your recruiters are straight up not doing their job. I interviewed 6 times for both commercial and enterprise sales roles. The process took over two months and I had to reach out myself each week just to get an update or schedule my own next steps. They kept me in the dark and I finally got a canned reply saying I didn’t get the job. I asked for feedback from the sales director, sales manager, and recruiter and was completely ignored. In this job market, how do you expect to find good talent with processes like this? 4 months later, the role is still open and they are still struggling to find an account manager for the Wisconsin territory. This month, 2 recruiters contacted me and didn’t know I already interviewed. when I told them about my experience with their team, they again decided not to reply back to me. Truly embarrassing. I hope management takes a look at these reviews…
