The interview process at Forter was really clear and respectful from start to finish. Recruiters were on top of things and kept me informed. Each part of the process was designed to check my skills and also give me a chance to learn about Forter. They had this case study that was pretty relevant, and the final panel interview was a standout. I liked how they looked at more than just technical stuff, also how I thought things through, managed my priorities, and communicated. Everyone I talked to was super nice, professional, and seemed genuinely into their work, which really showed me Forter's team vibe and how they're focused on their goals.

Technical Coding

I saw the Technical Support Specialist role on Otta, did some research, and found the company's cybersecurity work exciting. The first step was a call with the Senior Recruiter who talked about the job and its location. Next, the Technical Support Team Lead asked me 3 questions on bash scripting and Python during a call. I then got a take-home assignment, which made me feel like a serious candidate. I submitted it a day early. After 3 weeks of silence, the Senior Recruiter contacted me to say they'd reconsidered the hiring location, moving it from London to Tel-Aviv, and were no longer considering me. I was disappointed, feeling led on. They did provide feedback on my assignment when I asked, which was good. Overall, I felt they weren't serious about the role from the start.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Answer 3 technical questions about Linux commands and shell scripting while on a call.
  • Write a Python program to sort and restore file extensions within a 5-day deadline.
