Technical Behavioral

I spent ages prepping for this quick phone interview that felt hurried and unfinished. The interviewer mentioned he had many interviews and needed to rush through this one. He sometimes interrupted me when I was talking about my experience or answering technical questions. He also repeatedly emphasized how stressful, demanding, and miserable this job would be, saying I'd 'miss a lot of sleep, work weekends, and holidays, even Christmas,' making it sound like work-life balance was terrible. After the interview, I never heard back. I thought it went okay even though I didn't want the job after hearing all that, so I didn't follow up. I wished I had received some feedback. I was getting better offers elsewhere that were more positive.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • What are basic ports for a service?
  • How does a network operate?
  • Very basic networking questions, like how DNS works, what a DMZ is, and how routers work.
