Process
Rushed and, frankly, somewhat xenophobic.
Instead of asking, "Why do you want to work at Zendesk?" the HR asked, "You are from a poorer country, why do you want to work here?"
On the upside, the phone screening did ask a barrage of short tech questions. None of the "tell me about yourself" or "what's the biggest challenge you have undertaken" type questions.

Zendesk Work Experiences
- 2.0Not great as it used to beSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeDublin, Dublin, IrelandMarch 12, 2024Pros: A place to work with the latest tech in the market. Remote work (for now).Cons: Following the acquisition and the installation of new leadership, numerous detrimental changes have occurred. Communication from the leadership lacks transparency. The push towards hybrid work fails to accommodate individuals wired for remote work who lack nearby office facilities. Furthermore, merit alone is insufficient for promotion, as political acumen and persuasion are deemed necessary alongside engineering prowess.
