Sr Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
I applied through other sources.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zscaler (Sanjose, CA) in Jan 2022.
I had 4 technical rounds. They then added up the performance of all the rounds and let us know if selected for the next managerial round.
The first 4 technical rounds and the last one were taken by the Director. Mostly, you are selected if you have reached the last round. It was a very smooth process.
The HR was quite interactive throughout the process.
