The interview process had 5 main parts. First, a phone chat with HR about salary expectations. Then, a Codility test with 3 questions, I had 120 minutes to solve them and used Python. After that, a technical interview with the team lead, where I talked about myself and my cyber background, answered questions on cyber definitions, how attacks work, prevention methods, and malware types. They gave me 20 minutes to read a short, new document about a cyber attack and then asked questions on it; this part was about 1 hour total. Next was a homework assignment in Python, which wasn't too hard or long. Finally, an interview with the manager, who explained the role, and I again talked about myself and my cyber background, and they asked questions about my degree. The last step was recommendations; HR asked for 2 references, and I gave them my previous boss's contact info with their permission.
