I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Zenefits in Nov 2022

Interview

The interview process is not well defined. There is a gap of 1-2 weeks between each round. After completing 6-7 rounds there is no information shared back with the candidate. HR will not pick up the call and neither respond to emails. If it is not selected also it has to be informed back to the candidate.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Zenefits in Sep 2022

Interview

One long month of interviews. Applied for this position and received an email to schedule a 30 minute phone screening. After that had 3 interviews, one with the hiring manager another with a VP and another with a director. Two interviews were an hour, final interview was only 30 minutes of which a spreadsheet was thrown onto screen and I was required to give feedback on upcoming projects. All this just to receive an email a week later at 12:38 at night to tell me I im “not the right fit”. An insane experience and after having to reach out to the recruiter on two separate occasions to get an update during this egregious process, I think I may have a dodged a bullet.

Interview Questions
  • Give me a time you had a project with ambiguity (that’s it, no further elaboration)

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Zenefits in Jul 2022

Interview

I applied early June and did not hear from anyone until late July, and did not receive an offer until late August. So expect their interview process to take quite a while! I had 3 different interviews total. The first was an introductory phone call with the recruiter, the second was a video call with a senior customer care specialist, and the final interview was with my potential manager which I found to be an interesting interview structure. The actual interviews themselves are not crazy difficult but they will ask you about your skills and past experiences and how they correlate to the role.

Interview Questions
  • Can you tell me about a time you handled an escalated customer?

Application

I applied in-person. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Zenefits (Atlanta, GA)

Interview

After applying for the job more than a month before, I received an email from a recruiter. That should have been the first red flag. I agreed and did an interview with the recruiter and was immediately moved to the 2nd round with the hiring managers for a few days afterwards. The meeting with the direct supervisor was a lot but his personality wasn’t. He was so monotone, not enthusiastic, but made it clear overtime was expected and it’s a organizational mess right now that needs cleaning up. The 2nd part of that interview with the department director seems to go well. She told me I would hear something in 1-2 days, It’s been 2 weeks and I’ve heard nothing. So I will assume I no offer is extended and that’s ok. The courtesy would be a proper decline. If someone takes time from their busy day to apply and interview for your organization, the least you can do is communicate all decisions whether good or bad.

The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Zenefits (Saginaw, TX)

Interview

I completed one phone call and 2 video interviews. I was then asked for references and learned an acquisition took place and they were no longer seeking outside candidates and were looking inside. Complete waste of my time. Company does not value applicants time.

I applied online. I interviewed at Zenefits

Interview

Applied and was contacted by a recruiter who set up an interview. Everything to this point went well. During the interview, which was scheduled for an hour, I was greeted by the interviewer. The conversation was very stilted. He seemed as though he had other places to be and the last thing he wanted to do was interview me. He kept his replies curt and unconversational. Despite this, I tried to continue the conversation and keep it light. However, after a high-level question about my resume, the interview was cut short by almost 45 minutes. He didn't ask any follow-up questions about the work I've done or the skills I have. He didn't seem to care. He did ask if I had any questions about the company. I had a few, but his answers were very brief and uninformative, as though asking the question were something he needed to check off a list. Even if he thought I wasn't a good fit (which he couldn't have known - we'd barely spoken), ending an interview abruptly like this is not the way to treat prospective talent. The interview concluded with no next steps given and a very puzzled interviewee. I do not recommend applying here.

UX Designer and Software Engineer

Is it normal that after the pre-interview with HR, and after he mentioned I would have the first interview with manager xx, he just disappeared? I sent an email and called the office a week later but no answers from him. Is this the way KPMG recruit people? He also contacted me two months later from the day I applied.

Software Engineer

I've been on the job market for the past 4 months, facing challenges with securing interviews. I'm contemplating enrolling in Career Elevator (www.mycareerelevator.com) to refine my interview skills. Additionally, I'm intrigued by ApplyAll.com, a tool for automating job applications. Has anyone used either program to enhance their job search? I'm eager to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Thank you in advance for your help!

Manager

Confused. Currently working for a mid sized firm with big clients but have been offered a role through my network for a relatively small startup but a with higher designation / lead role & similar salary to my existing pay. The new role is more strategy + lead but non technical while my current role is managerial level but more technical. If in my position, would you stay in your current role or take the new one?? Happy to answer follow up questions. Thank you.
