Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It's like giving an encoded string (a~z) and then find the encode method.
The question is easy on algorithms. The difficulty is to understand how this encoded string forms
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Zendesk (Pune) in Feb 2026
Interview
It was a very smooth experience, the interviewer touched on various types of technical skills that an intern should be aware of. The interviewer also focused on how the candidate analyse and design a software.
Great interviewer, very easy questions about the basics of Computer Science.
4 steps of interview:
- coding
- technical interview
- behavioural interview - the most common questions
- conversations withe Hiring Manager
Resume screening, 1 behavioral round and 1 technical round. Behavioral a bit weird for internship given that candidates probably don't have much experiences. Technical 1 medium-ish question. Took quite long to get notified by recruiter of result

Question 1
Some behavioral questions and a string algorithm question
