It is a fairly lengthy interview process. I ended up choosing a different company because it was too many rounds/not a quick enough turn around. The individuals I spoke with were very nice! Had the process been quicker it might have been different. Definitely come to these interviews prepared. Do your research on the company/values as you would for any job. They appreciate that!
Before we could get to the offer stage I already had another job lined up. I went through about three rounds by that point.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why this company? Why sales? What are your strengths/weaknesses?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Zscaler in Jan 2026
Interview
There are two interview stages after the phone screening. The first is a 30-minute interview with the hiring manager, followed by a 30-minute mock cold email exercise. If selected to move forward, the next stage will include an interview with an account executive, and possibly a sales engineer, along with a mock call.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zscaler in Jun 2025
Interview
Straightforward (although lengthy) interview process. Be prepared to answer behavioral and identity questions, as well as a final round mock cold call and email exercise. initial rounds are 1x1 until final panel. Expect 2-3 managers on the call.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Zscaler (Boston, MA) in Jan 2025
Interview
Not too hard just have to study and understand the product you're selling. Consists of three separate interviews. Be engaged and bring some energy to each one. The last one is a panel with multiple managers.
