Info session, take home challenge, tech interview, behavioral interview.
Take home challenge was not hard, if you google it, you will see some examples of previous years submissions.
Tech interview was based on the take home challenge and included some general questions and some live coding.

Other Software Engineer(Internship) interview reviews for Zendesk
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Zendesk (Pune) in Feb 2026
Interview
It was a very smooth experience, the interviewer touched on various types of technical skills that an intern should be aware of. The interviewer also focused on how the candidate analyse and design a software.
Great interviewer, very easy questions about the basics of Computer Science.
4 steps of interview:
- coding
- technical interview
- behavioural interview - the most common questions
- conversations withe Hiring Manager
Resume screening, 1 behavioral round and 1 technical round. Behavioral a bit weird for internship given that candidates probably don't have much experiences. Technical 1 medium-ish question. Took quite long to get notified by recruiter of result
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some behavioral questions and a string algorithm question
