I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Zendesk (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2018
Interview
Got an email 2-3 weeks after application saying I needed to fill out 7 questions (this instead of calling). Hear back 1 week later to a coding challenge that I have 5 days to do. 2 weeks later is the skype interview with the hiring manager, then an on-site a few days after that at SF office.

I applied through college or 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
