Zscaler Interview Questions

Application

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Zscaler (San Jose, CA) in March 2017.

Interview

One of the worst experiences ever. Here it goes:

- Contacted by the HR and had a generic interview
- Post this, I was asked for my availability for an interview with one of the directors, and was told I will receive a confirmation about the same
- I never received a confirmation, nor did I receive any communication from the HR. My emails were not responded for a week.
- Post this, I was responded to and mentioned that they have had some internal issues with this position, and hence can no longer offer this position to me.

Fast forward 1 month later, I get contacted by the same HR again, and she mentioned that they can move forward with this position for me.
- I was asked to do a networking test, which I scored 35/40
- Post this, the HR mentioned to me that she would like to schedule a tech screen for me with a member of the team
- Again, no confirmation and no response for a 2 weeks.

Ridiculous that the HR does not have basic skills to respond to emails, when it they who had contacted me, and not me. I even did a test and you do not respond after that ? I later dropped the email to the HR that I was no longer interested in interviewing for the company, since I had other better offers, and of course better communication channels with them.

Interview

Zscaler's approach is very organized and meticulous. The internal Corporate Recruiter did a great job of staying in touch and setting expectations for the different phases of the process.
 There are a series of sessions with different people in the organization checking for technical knowledge, people skills, experience etc. That was followed by a panel interview in which the candidate needed to present the Zscaler story and value proposition to a panel of current Zscaler employees.

Interview

very structured. Was well thought out, and I knew every step of the process where I was. The process took less than 2 months. Had an SE Panel interview where they give you what you need to shine during the panel. Just got to do your homework... Questions will be all over the place to try to get you to "crack" under pressure, and see what you're made of.
Lots of questions around the sales process as well, even though it's an SE position.
Overall very satisfied with the whole hiring experience. Salary was very competitive.

I submitted my resume, we had some quick minor discussions to judge fit then a fairly standard process - Talent acquisition, hiring manager and then national manager. The only wrinkle was the addition of a panel of peers who you had to make a presentation on yourself and the company

Interview

1. First call with the recruiter, very quick and informative. The second was with the staff engineer. He was amazing made me felt very comfortable while I was coding and helped me throughout. He was patient and humble.

I was called for Onsite, the first guy who took my interview was weird, insulting, in-phone while I was giving answers, confusing and totally impolite. Rest three were amazing.

Interview

First round was a technical phone screening by the recruiter. Standard questions to understand the domain I worked on and the skill sets I have. Later was called for an in-person interview. 4 people interviewed. Questions were mostly on application protocols and their headers. Very basic linux commands and system commands. Basic questions on automation.
