Behavioral Technical

The interview process was pretty straightforward and nice overall. The recruiter was really communicative and everyone was super friendly. It started with a phone screening, then I had an in-person meeting at their HQ. It took a couple of weeks, and I heard back about a week after applying for the initial call. I guess it helped that it was close to the application deadline. The in-person meeting was great, I met with three people: a colleague, a manager, and the VP. I followed up afterwards to thank them, and a week later the recruiter let me know they decided to put the hiring for this role on hold. So, no offer, but I wasn't rejected personally either.

Behavioral Technical

The interview had 3 rounds: 1 behavioral and 2 technical. The first round was a behavioral interview where they really grilled me to make sure I knew what my role entailed and that I wasn't a fraud. The technical rounds were more chill and laid back, but they still expected me to know the technical side of things. They put a lot of emphasis on AWS, Azure, and Okta. The managers also wanted to see that I cared about cybersecurity and had a project to talk about.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process was quite disorganized. I didn't apply myself; they reached out to me. It took about three months to complete two interviews. After finally meeting the hiring manager, I noticed she was eating lunch with her camera off during the interview. Later, I was told I was technically competent but lacked sufficient leadership experience, despite having led data teams for ten years. This made me feel the process wasn't taken seriously and that my time was wasted.

I received an email expressing interest in an interview and was able to select a suitable date and time. The interview itself involved the manager, operator, and assistant manager, which was a bit intimidating initially due to the number of interviewers. Despite this, the process was straightforward and felt very relaxed, like conversing with familiar people. Aside from a couple of questions about my motivation for applying, the experience was quite easygoing. It took a few weeks to hear back, after which I got an email with a job offer, which I accepted.
