Zscaler Software Engineer: role-focused questions and a poor interview experience

The process was fairly simple and focused on the role. I saw more situation-based and role-based questions than anything overly abstract. What frustrated me was the way the interview was conducted. The upper-management participants seemed completely disinterested, which made the conversation feel less respectful than it could have been.

I didn’t feel the warmth or cordial engagement I’ve come to expect when people are evaluating me. The questions themselves were manageable, but the interview’s overall tone didn’t sit well with me.

I didn’t receive an offer, and I left feeling that the experience could have been handled better, especially on the interpersonal side rather than just the content of the interview.

Location: San Jose, CA. Overall feedback: Negative. Offer status: No offer.
