I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Zoho (Chennai) in May 2025
Interview
Aptitude was very difficult it was a game changer for all candidates.Scoring in aptitude will only lead to success of receiving mail for interview.So freshers need to prepare for both aptitude and coding questions.
Other Associate Software Engineer interview reviews for Zoho
My experience with the Zoho interview felt intense from the start. The written test demanded quick thinking, and the programming challenges pushed problem-solving skills far beyond basic DSA.But the interview experience was helpful
I attended the Zoho interview last month, and it was a good learning experience. The first round was focused on coding, where I had to solve a set of programming problems within a given time. I cleared that round and moved on to the second round, which also involved more in-depth coding challenges. Although I gave my best, I got rejected after the second round. Even though I didn’t make it through, the experience helped me understand where I need to improve and boosted my confidence for future interviews.
