I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Zendesk
Interview
5 rounds of interviews including screening and panel. Everyone I met with was very friendly but their process was painfully slow. It would take over a month to hear a response between each step. If you reach out for updates they just ignore you. They are probably endlessly interviewing people for the same roles because by the time they follow up with applicants, the applicants are already working somewhere else. In the end I was ghosted after 5 rounds despite receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback during each round. Not a great experience, especially for a company that sells a product that is supposed to prevent ghosting.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Zendesk (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2021
Interview
Very long (more than 8 interviews) with non essential stakeholders…giving the impression that when a hiring manager needs to get so many opinions, its demonstrates signs of weak mamanegement and lack of respect to the candidate and respect to the time of the additional interviewers.

Question 1
Have you worked with field marketing teams before?
I applied and then got a call back from their HR to have the initial conversation. I thanked them for reaching out and then asked for a salary range and was then ghosted....for asking if they were in my range.
