Behavioral Technical Coding
The interview kicked off with a quick rundown of the job, then I introduced myself and chatted about a project from my school days. Even though they asked about a C++ project, I mostly used Python, so I ended up talking about a Python project. After that, the interviewer showed me some Bash commands and asked me to explain their purpose. I thought this was a pretty specific, technical part, focusing on command knowledge that's easy to look up these days. Finally, we wrapped up with a medium-difficulty LeetCode-style coding problem.

- Could you describe a challenge you faced in your project and how you overcame it?

Behavioral Technical
I was first contacted by an HR person on LinkedIn and we scheduled a 10min call with pretty basic questions about my experience (years of work, if I worked with email security products, my salary expectations). Then I had a second 30min call with the team manager. During this call, we went into more detail about my experiences. The questions were in-depth about what I did in email, if I had sales experience, and which email security products I'd worked with. All interviews were in English.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Tell me about your experience with email security.
- Have you ever worked in Technical Sales before?
- What email security products have you used in the past?

Behavioral Technical
So I applied online and got a call from the recruiter really fast, like the next day. We talked about the job, and she told me all about it. Then came the home test, which was about using SAP, with instructions, and then some questions on how I'd handle customers, mostly checking if I understood how to act in different situations. After that, I had a final in-person interview with the team leader and HR. The whole thing was done in just a week, super quick with fast feedback. Overall, it was a good experience.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Considering that the end of a quarter is a busy time for this role, how do you anticipate you'll handle pressure?

Technical Behavioral
It took a while to hear back after applying, but the recruiter call was nice. They gave me a quick 'pop quiz' which was okay. Then there was a technical assessment before I could schedule with the Hiring Manager. This whole thing took weeks to get scheduled. The Hiring Manager meeting itself was not great. They were late, didn't introduce themselves, and seemed disengaged. They asked three generic questions, not about me or the job, and then ended the call saying the recruiter would be in touch. I guess it's good I didn't move forward.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you describe a challenging technical situation you encountered and how you navigated it?
