I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ZoomInfo in Mar 2024
Easy interview
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at ZoomInfo
Interview
Applied online and a recruiter reached out the same day. Did a basic phone screen after which I got an email asking questions which very much belong in an interview. Stuff like "tell me about a challenging problem you solved" or "why do you want to work for ZI?". I swallowed my pride and answered. Moreover, they had me do an online IQ test which I frankly found insulting.
After that I spoke with one of the engineers and answered some simple technical questions (system design, some easy leetcode). One thing to note is that the interviewer picked the language. I had been doing all my prep in python (like most engineers do) and the different syntax threw me off.
After that interview, it took a turn. The recruiter kept scheduling and rescheduling the followup. He would offer me a time slot for the following day and then disappear for days on end when I indicated that I couldn't make such short notice work. This happened multiple times. In general, getting information out of him was like pulling teeth.
After the last one I withdrew my application. This was an extremely unprofessional process and I feel like my time has been wasted. If the company is run anything like the interviews are, I'd recommend staying far far away.
Worst interview ever
Had applied via linkedin. Got an automated email for a behavarial assessment. A test along the lines of MBTI. After the assessment i got an email that the organisation is not moving ahead with my profile.
- No contact from company HR
- No in depth description of about the role, what product I'll work on. Nothing
