Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 1 semana. Fui entrevistado pela Zoom Communications em abr. de 2022
Entrevista
Disrespectful. I hope that Zoom understands the negative impression their recruiters are making for potential candidates.
Applied via Zoom's career site/Workday and was contacted by a recruiter about a week later to formally interview for the position (phone interview stage). I scheduled some time with her via the calendar she provided and sent a follow-up email to further confirm said day/time. Unfortunately, the recruiter no-showed on the scheduled day/time. I immediately reached out via email to humbly suggest I misunderstood the time zones (I know I did not, was just trying to help her save face) and to try and reschedule. I did not receive a response to this email and two days later I received an automated rejection email. Funny enough, that email included a prompt to write this review, so here we are.
Overall, I found this experience to be incredibly disrespectful to me as a candidate. I imagine I was simply some checkbox for the recruiter to be able to say "I contacted X candidates for this position". Whether that's true or not, this recruiter seemingly forgot that I'm a human being with responsibilities and hopes of my own, and it's a slap in the face to have scheduled a time for an interview and have them not show up whatsoever without any contact. It takes time to apply and properly prepare for these interviews, and Zoom's recruiters seemingly could not care less about the applicant.
Perhaps this gives some insight as to what working at this company would actually be like. Buyer beware.

Nice interview process with many interesting stages. Included testing of language skills as this was a support role across geographies.
Went through to the final round only to be told that the position was no longer being hired for.

Had an online assessment on CodeSignal with an option to take the test unproctored (?). Did they expect me to use AI or didnt? It wasnt clear but I did not use AI knowing that despite it being unproctored, they still track every key stroke. Extremely lengthy questions. What used to be easy in the previous years (questions 1,2 ) and medium (question 3,4) are all now medium to hard. Not sure if codesignal adjusted their difficulty or Zoom did. Some of them expect highly optimized solutions even - constantly running into TLE. The questions themselves were lengthy - each 20-30 lines with nuances all over - so you can quickly even skim thru the question. I had a terrible 75 minutes with my confidence completely assaulted. I didnt even bother to find solutions to these problems after the test (which I normally do when I fail a technical interview) because I felt their expectations from the candidate are sky high just because software engineers are now suddenly dispensable commodity like high quality toilet paper.
