Technical Behavioral

It was a multi-stage interview process. First, there was a brief interview with some fundamental technical questions. Following that, there was a more extensive interview that included brain teasers and behavioral questions. The whole thing lasted about a month.

Behavioral Technical

A staffing firm reached out about a job. I seemed to fit their criteria and had the right certs. Then I had an interview with someone from HR who didn't seem to know much about the job or maybe the staffing firm got it wrong. The HR person's version of the job wasn't what the staffing firm advertised. Strangely, they really focused on my cybersecurity experience and acted like it disqualified me for the AWS role.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • What was your motivation for studying cybersecurity?

Technical Coding Behavioral

First, I got a packet with about 25 logic questions and a coding problem on the back, and I had 30 minutes to do it. Then, they asked some OOP questions, but mostly behavioral questions and went through my resume. They also asked about my willingness to relocate, which was a strong factor. Lastly, I had time to ask them questions.

The interview process was really nice. Recruiters took me out to dinner and got to know me, basically treating me very nicely. Then, they asked me to come for a more formal interview the next day. I attended and they asked me more professional-oriented questions.
