Director, Cloud Operations Interview Experience - India
Process
I received a call from HR, who explained the position very well. The interview was for a Senior Leadership role.
An interview was arranged within a few days. After the joining call, I came to know that the panelists were managers (5-10 years of experience) from the same Cloud Operations team. They were interviewing for their manager, i.e., the Director of Cloud Operations.
It was shocking to learn that people who would potentially report to me were conducting my interview and were going to decide whether they wanted to hire their boss. That was the weirdest interview I have ever attended in my life.
The questions were very vague and not related to the position. Zscaler doesn't even know how to select panelists for a strategic role.
It's insulting to have such interviews.
