Software Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Dublin
Process
The interview process is pretty standard, so you should have at least a phone screen and a technical challenge. After that, they may ask you to talk to a few employees/managers. They want to understand your technical skills, mindset, past experiences, and values. Interviewers are nice and friendly.
Zendesk Ireland is quite bad at communication internally. They may take some time to reply to emails and send interview feedback. If they understand you're not a good fit, they may stop replying to you. I believe they might be facing internal problems because Zendesk is scaling pretty fast in Ireland, and unfortunately, the current structure affects the candidates, their employees, and its brand.

Zendesk Work Experiences
- 4.0Great team, but not very interesting technical challengesSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomMarch 14, 2025Pros: The people are friendly, supportive, and always willing to help, which creates a great work environment. A collaborative culture with a focus on teamwork. A good work-life balance and flexibility.Cons: The technical side is not very cutting-edge.
- 1.0Worst job I had in 20 yearsSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSeptember 9, 2023Pros: Work-life balance, remote work.Cons: Nice culture gone wrong. When your core principle is being nice, rather than make a product that people want to use, you get fiefdom protecting, meaningless bureaucracy, B-grade talent, and promotion based on niceness. I had no idea how ugly this can become after years of cultural dysmorphia.
- 2.0They care more about being a female than actually being competentSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeMelbourne, AustraliaJune 29, 2020Pros: Nice people, a lot of activities, good work-life balance and events, and a helpful environment.Cons: Working with some technically incompetent people, who were hired for other reasons, like gender ratio between engineers.
