Application
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Zscaler (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
I talked to multiple people drawn out over many weeks. I think I did favorably on all the interviews but found the process chaotic. I like to prepare for the interviews and follow up after. Many times, there would be no acknowledgement and there was absolutely 0 feedback from recruiting. They simply stated, "Everyone liked you but we are extending the offer to someone else"
Dont waste your time interviewing. They jerk candidates off only to hire an internal candidate at the end. They have a rigorous interview process. They'll make you go through all 5-6 rounds - managers, peers, directors, and panel - only to finally hire an internal candidate. The candidate experience is worse than poor. Feels like they make candidates hang on till the final rounds only to show metrics - and not really hire.
there are around 4 to 5 stages of interview process, each stage of the process provide a great insight of your skill and knowledge to the hiring manager, it is unique. Thumbs up.
