I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Zendesk (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
Recruiter
Online interview with coderpad
On site with god knows how many lol..close to 10 people I guess
Extremely long process due to unprofessional recruiter
Extremely lengthy process (more than 1.5 months long). They put out openings and then the team for which they are recruiting goes on PTO. I was the one repeatedly following up with the recruiter instead of her. She seemed disinterested.
On site interview was easy. Lots of stupid behavioral questions. Also found one interviewer to be rude.

1st round HR round then a screen round with Engineering manager, and then a live coding test with 2 engineers.
I got rejected after the coding test so don't know the process beyond it.
