      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      8 May 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Melbourne
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Zendesk (Melbourne) in Apr 2022

      Interview

      1. Screening call with a recruiter 2. An interview with a hiring manager, took an hour (this is where I stopped) 3. Coding interview (1 hour) 4. System Design Interview (1 hour) A week after the interview with hiring manger, I got a call to let me know they're happy to move forward with the interview process and I got schedule confirmed for both the coding and system design interviews back to back. Then just 3 hours before interviews on the day, they called me and said they'd had stopped hiring that position and cancelled my interviews. Period. No apologies or whatsoever. Unsurprisingly, that position was posted again a few days later. I guess they should have talked straight to my face if I was unfit and that they made a mistake to schedule me for those interviews and I would feel better.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Interview with hiring manager is straightforward when they asked about common things like past challenging projects, opinion about team culture, etc.
