I was contacted by a recruiter who said she was interested in my background. We scheduled a phone meeting-- she was a few minutes late. She seemed out of breath and I felt rushed. She didn't quite ask me about my experience, rather asked 2 or 3 very pointed questions -- it felt like she was reading a script. "How much have you gown your department? I need a percentage!"
The recruiter was rude, kept cutting me off, and didn't exactly sell the organization or the role. She put me down in a back-handed kind of way, questioning my career.
She let me know the team was going through lots of change and the leader was trying to figure out how to structure, so the role may or may not change.
At the end, she said she would put me through to the next round, then changed her tune and said she might, then said the leader wanted to speak to everyone she interviewed. The recruiter let me know she had only been employed there a couple of weeks and was trying to figure things out. Did not give me much confidence, and if that's the culture of the org, count me out.
A week later I received a generic "we're moving in another direction" email... well guess what? So am I.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Zscaler
Interview
Overly lengthy process, got to 4th stage and felt it was being dragged out for no real reason. I'm sure they lose lots of candidates due to this unnecessary tiered interview process.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Zscaler
Interview
After nearly two months without feedback, and three months invested in interviews, the lack of detailed response is disappointing. It's surprising they don't realize how poorly this reflects on them.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Zscaler (Bangalore Rural) in Jan 2024
Interview
There is no process at all.
HR/Recruiter is impatient and hardly share details.
No follow ups or response to questions once interview is done.
No clarity on what they are looking for.
