I applied and about a week later, the recruiter reached out. We set up a 1-on-1 with the hiring manager where I got asked some technical questions about DNS and HTTP, and then some about my fit for the team. After passing that, I had a second round with an Escalations Engineer and the hiring manager. This one was pretty technical, focusing on my experience with DNS, CDNs, Cybersecurity attacks and how to deal with them, and Cloud technologies. The next day, the recruiter called and after I submitted my background check, I got the offer.

The interview process had a few parts. It started with HR and then went to technical interviews with managers and team members. It finished with discussions with the Senior VP. It was a really complete process, should be good for people with the right experience. They were professional and worked around my schedule.

I first had a screening call where they asked me about networking knowledge. Then, I was invited for an HR interview at the Tel Aviv office. The HR person didn't seem to know the specifics of the job requirements or the day-to-day tasks, like workload or queue load. Unfortunately, they didn't even call to let me know I wasn't selected.
