Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Zscaler (Los Angeles, CA)
Colloquio
Challenging with a really good panel presentation. The interviewers asked many difficult questions throughout. The prep work took me a good 12+ hours to ensure my content was exactly what they were expecting.

Can you walk me through the typical Zscaler customer transformation journey?

Colloquio
Pretty straight forward usually a pretty long recruitment process, they do have a panel usually for sales people. I would not say it’s a difficult process. Just come prepared knowing a little bit about the company and bring questions. Make sure you do your research on whoever is interviewing you.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Zscaler nel mese di mar 2020
Colloquio
I approached a hiring manager directly through an email, who was very impressed by my profile and the my sales target numbers (I have been a top performer through out my career). I was introduced to a recruiter and was informed that a new person for the region will come on board in March 2020 and will be the hiring manager for this position.
I followed the company on LinkedIn and reached out to the new hiring manager in March but received no response. I saw today that they have hired another person who started in this role in May. While I do wish the best for this person, I don't see anything in his profile or experience which makes him better suited for this role. I have more relevant experience and my sales numbers are way better. Took me about 10 mins to find out from LinkedIn that the hiring manager had worked with an ex-colleague of the new hire, as they discussed their past connection in a LinkedIn post congratulating the new hire.
I have no issues that they didn't hire me but what was essentially wrong, and makes it a strong case of 'Nepotism', is that candidate with a much better profile, relevant experience and sales numbers (quota achievement) was not even considered. I wouldn't have posted this if they had at least interviewed me before rejecting me.
I will never join this company because for me 'Nepotism' is another form of corruption, and a strong sign of the decay when it seeps into an organization.
