I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Zendesk (Singapore) in July 2019
Interview
Recruiter sent me the calendar appointment for pre-screen within a week. It was a 20 minutes call and they judged my whole career path with this call. A bit surprise about what they feedbacked before drop off that I was lack skills of what they are looking for. Even not going to the technical round. The recruiter should not disrespect the candidate like this.
