Process
4 Rounds of Interviews. Hiring manager, then technical, behavioral, and system design. The questions were typical for a senior role, from what I can tell. After the final interview, I was ghosted by the company, and they never followed up with me. So, thanks Zendesk for caring about wasting my time and never following up with me. Very unprofessional.
Questions
NDA was signed, so nothing I can comment on.
