I was contacted by the recruiter in few days after applying for the role. The interview process was very efficient, that I was arranged to share my technical experience with the future team to see if it is fit to the role or not. If it is matched then you'll be arranged for subsequent technical problem solving, culture etc. The technical interview process was very interactive, feel like you're working with the team for brainstorming the given problem, where I enjoyed a lot.

Recruiter reached out to me saying they are building a new team and would love to talk to me. I decided to apply and they set up a zoom interview with the hiring manager and lead developer. The hiring manager apparently never looked at my resume, because halfway through the interview he said I didn't have the experience they needed. That's fine I guess, but he could have saved everyone's time by reading my resume beforehand. BUT... then amazingly, he proceeded to describe how inadequate I was for the position and how I would be in over my head in this job because it is so hard and I would not be able to handle it. It almost seemed like he was using this interview to make himself feel like a bigshot, or who knows. It was surreal. I tried to be polite and understanding, but to be honest it was sort of humiliating, and it makes me angrier the more I think about how I was treated during the interview. Overall the experience was terrible. The kicker is that THEY REACHED OUT TO ME! It's not like I was seeking to work for Zendesk. I'm glad I didn't get this job because if this is how they treat people, I would not have stayed long.
