I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zscaler in Nov 2023
Interview
It was awful. I was put through 6 rounds including an in person interview and then silence. Never got flushed, never got an offer. No explanation, no professionalism. Was told I would also be recommended for another position and no info there. Recruiter was hyper excited until she absolutely disappeared completely. Awful experience, but hearing how bad their culture is, maybe I dodged a bullet.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard account executive sales questions. Tell me about your past, tell me about your favorite sale, have you used MEDDPICC etc.
Lengthy but fair. Prepare to know the solutions and what they solve for. All the leaders seemed extremely friendly and passionate about the solution and what they deliver to their customers. Overall good experience.
Interviewer used MEDDIC and objection handling off the bat and stressed the importance of this in the GTM motion at the company. Interviewer was arrogant and unhelpful overall bad impression of the company and kind of people working there
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Zscaler (London, England) in Jan 2025
Interview
Initial call with recruiter, very text book questions, did not seem engaged or curious to get to know the actual candidate, very low pay and said lots of hard work which essentially means no work/life balance.
