Software Engineer Interview Experience - Melbourne, Victoria
Process
First, I applied around mid-May. Seven days later, I got invited to their office for an introduction to Zendesk and an explanation about the coding challenge. After that, I received the coding challenge, which was pretty interesting, and I had around seven days to complete it. I got invited to an in-person interview two weeks after submitting the coding challenge. The interview was made up of two parts: a cultural interview and a technical one, where we went through my coding challenge.
