Had a brief call with the Recruiter and then scheduled a call with the Engineering Manager. He never called and we rescheduled multiple times. Each time, he never called and we continued to rescheduled until finally, received a rejection.
One of the most unprofessional interviews I ever had. I am disappointed in the recruiting quality of Zendesk. I don't ever expect to have an opportunity with them again.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your background? Have you worked with Ruby on Rails and React/Redux?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zendesk (Dublin, Dublin) in Apr 2026
Interview
It was a four-round interview:
1. HR screen call
2. Hiring manager
3. Technical
4. One more behavioral interview
After just the HR recruiter's call, they assigned a meeting for the hiring manager. One day before, they cancelled it.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Zendesk (Tallinn) in Jan 2026
Interview
First interview was with HR rep, second one with a technical team lead. There was supposedly a third interview with another technical manager or something, but it seemed they had already a strong candidate in mind, so after second interview I immediately got an email that they had gone the other way.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zendesk
Interview
The interview process was straight forward. The process moved quickly across the different stages of the hiring process. Questions were related to the job and it's requirements instead of being generic questions
