Candidate-reported interview process
It was a good experience, with several interviews. They asked a good mix of questions about my background, the industry, and what's coming up. I also got a sense of the company culture and what they expect from employees.
The interview was mainly behavioral questions, with a few technical ones, but no coding test. They asked about my knowledge of encryption and my previous security work.
Phone call with the recruiter, then talked to the Security Engineer manager and 2 Security Engineers. The first 2 interviews were easy, but the last one was very difficult with very specific questions.
