      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      9 Nov 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Chandigarh
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Zscaler (Chandigarh)

      Interview

      Their recruiter is very unreliable. HR does not respect your time and keeps you waiting for long. Also if you haven't got selected their HR will ask you to leave without any update and ask you to wait for the call which you will never get. This is a reflection of the company and how they operate. I will never work at a place like that.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They will not ask questions based on your experience and work. Some questions are totally irrelevant and frustrating.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your interview experience. I am disappointed that your experience was not positive, and on behalf of Zscaler, my apologies to you for your negative experience. Would you mind contacting me directly so that I might address this situation specifically with those who were involved? I was not able to track down your specific situation with our head of HR in Chandigarh. You may reach me at msmith@zscaler.com.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      22 Jul 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Zscaler in Apr 2025

      Interview

      The overall interview process was fairly standard. It began with an HR round that lasted around 15–20 minutes, followed by three technical rounds. I believe I performed well throughout, and I was informed afterward that the feedback from the technical rounds was positive. However, despite the encouraging feedback, I was later told by the HR representative that the position had been elevated to a more senior role, and the team felt I would not be the right fit for this updated requirement. While I appreciate the opportunity to interview, I was disappointed with the outcome—especially after receiving positive feedback and investing significant time and effort. Clearer communication regarding potential changes to the role earlier in the process would have been helpful and more respectful of candidates’ time and expectations.
