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.
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
