Technical Presentation Behavioral
The process might seem daunting with 4 interviews, a technical test, and a presentation/panel, but it's designed to move quickly with support available at every step. The interviews were pleasant and relaxed. The test is quite general, covering networking and security. There were no trick questions or strange interview tactics, just recruiters wanting to understand what the candidate can offer and what the company can offer them.

Behavioral Technical Coding
First up, there's usually a quick chat (about 15-30 mins) with someone from HR to make sure your background, goals, and any big 'no-gos' like salary or how soon you can start, all line up. Then comes the technical part, which can be a few things: an online coding challenge, maybe on LeetCode or HackerRank, to see how you handle problems and algorithms. Or, you might do a live coding session where you actually write code and talk through your thinking with the interviewer. It could also be a more in-depth technical call where you discuss your past projects, system design ideas, or specific tech like AI or databases.

Behavioral Technical
The hiring process felt like it was all about skills and making sure I was a good fit for the team. It started with a quick intro call, then moved into some real-world scenarios that are part of the job. The last step was a chat to see if my goals and what they're looking for line up, and to talk about what happens next. They were good about keeping me in the loop and letting me know what was going on at each step, which made it feel fair and supportive.

Behavioral Presentation
The first meeting, I was asked inappropriate personal questions unrelated to job skills. The second meeting, the interviewer was 20 minutes late and unapologetic. Interviewer communication seemed uncoordinated. I was told I might be better suited for an ISRAM role due to lack of experience in Belgium, despite this not being in the job description and being evident from my CV. Each interview required preparation and physical attendance, costing about €60 per round trip for travel, only to learn at the end I wasn't really considered for the role. This felt unprofessional and uncoordinated, reflecting poorly on Fortinet. This feedback is meant to improve the candidate experience.
