I went through a multi-stage process with Zycus, including a recruiter screening, two individual interviews, and a final panel demo session. The earlier stages were fine. The panel session, however, was a disappointing and disrespectful experience. I was invited to a one-hour session with four named participants. Three did not show up — no prior notice, no apology before the call. One of the two who did attend was visibly unprepared: unfamiliar with the format, and clearly had not reviewed my profile. After 25 minutes, the remaining panelist cut the session short citing another commitment. I had invested considerable time preparing a tailored presentation and demo. That investment was met with a lack of basic professionalism and a level of disorganization that, frankly, speaks to how candidates are valued in this process. If you are considering applying: the role may be interesting, but be prepared for a process that does not necessarily reflect the same standards you will bring to it.

My interviewer didn’t show up one time. They didn’t seem to feel too bad about it. Very strange interview process and wouldn’t recommend. It didnt even seem like the interviewers were aware of the case study i was supposed to be presenting.
