      Senior Engineer Interview

      23 Jun 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Zama (France) in Jun 2026

      Interview

      A gruelling 6 rounds, including tech screening, take home tests, presentations. The reason I am posting here is because, BEFORE YOU GET AN OFFER, they ask for 2 days UNPAID trial work in their Paris office. Then they decide on offer or not. This is wrong in so many ways, akin to a used car salesman making you invest time in seeing something before discussing prices. Having an unpaid "trial period" before an offer is a nonsense. That is what probationary periods are for when someone starts a new job. You don't ask a doctor to operate on patients for two days then tell them they are not welcome at the hospital anymore. Or a pilot to fly passengers. The screening happens BEFORE that, and there is a 3 or 6 month probationary period, to see if the person can become a fit (if they are not already). And then they leave if they are not. I get that recruiting is hard, but it isn't so hard that unpaid trial work should be a thing. It is unnecessary and disrespectful of candidate's time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Are you prepared to do two days unpaid work in our Paris office, at the VERY END OF THE INTERVIEW PROCESS, after multiple screening rounds, before we decide on whether or not to make you an offer.
