I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zendesk in Nov 2024
Interview
Steps:
1. Tech recruiter call
2. Hiring Manager call
3. Take home coding test
The first two calls were pretty standard, asking about previous experience and so on. The coding test was a bit confusing tho. I submitted a solution and they came back with a negative. When I asked whats the feedback, they ghosted me. The solution I made was a working production deployable solution.

Question 1
The coding exercise was about writing a chat bot with an internal API call to service that recognizes intents. The expected response of this solution was to understand the intent and generate a reply.
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.
