      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Apr 11, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Zendesk (London, England) in Oct 2020

      Interview

      I applied for a different team initially, but was turned down after the final stage, however, they felt that I would be a better fit for another team which I was put in touch with. - 1st: Call with recruiter - 2nd: Call with hiring manager. I expected this to just be a chat but turned into a coding problem which I was able to solve. - 3rd: Call with an engineer, online coding problem. - 4th: Virtual on-site interview consisting of a problem solving stage, two back to back system design interviews, and a final cultural fit interview. Interviewers where all very nice and helpful if you got stuck anywhere along the way. They're more focused on how you solve the problems given then actually getting to a solution, at least in my case.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Know your Leetcode easy questions for the initial stages. Queues, basic system architecture and how a system should scale with additional load.
