The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zendesk (Singapore) in May 2019
Interview
Phone call with HR and was given a coding assignment to be completed within 1 week.
I got called down for a technical interview after that. There were three interviewers and they tested on one programming question and one system design question. Interviewer will scrutinise on your solution and doesn't show much interest and just want to show off as they already have their ideal solution in mind.

Question 1
One coding question from coderpad and one system design question.
1st round HR round then a screen round with Engineering manager, and then a live coding test with 2 engineers.
I got rejected after the coding test so don't know the process beyond it.
