Behavioral Technical

I got reached out to by a recruiter on LinkedIn who thought my finance background was a good match. I was moving to a new state, and remote work was initially a concern, but they decided to interview me regardless. The first interview was with the hiring manager, which I felt went pretty well. He mentioned that the next step would be interviewing with the CAO. However, in the end, I wasn't selected to advance.

Technical Behavioral

It was a panel interview, and most of the questions were about real-life incidents. For example, they asked how I'd troubleshoot firewall traffic not passing, or how I'd figure out if a network issue was due to the firewall or the network itself when a customer's application stopped working. They also presented a scenario about working a Palo Alto case with NAT issues and packet drops, asking what I would investigate.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • Can you describe your experience with Cisco ASA firewalls and migrating them to Palo Alto?
  • How would you approach troubleshooting a firewall traffic blockage?
  • If a customer's application is down, what steps would you take to diagnose whether the issue lies with the firewall or the broader network?

Behavioral Presentation

I first chatted with a recruiter on the phone. She asked me some questions about my past work and the job itself. After that, I had a video interview. The two people who interviewed me were really nice. One of them was a supervisor who had just started. They both asked me questions about different situations and how I'd behave (which I thought didn't really relate to the job). Near the end, they explained the job and the training. They weren't sure about the pay or the start date, which was supposed to be later in the month. I asked if they had any concerns about my ability to do the job, and they said no. But then I got an email from the recruiter saying they were moving forward with other candidates who were a better fit. I even thanked the recruiter and asked what I could improve on if the job opened up again, but I didn't get a reply.

Behavioral Technical Coding

Had a recruiter call where we chatted about my past experiences and projects and they gave me some basic company info. Then there was an interview with the manager and some other team members. I had a simple take-home assignment to do before the interview. During the interview, I walked them through my implementation and had to solve 3 easy debugging questions. They also asked me some technical and behavioral questions about my past experiences. Got a rejection email the next day. The communication was clear and the experience was good overall.

Confirmed questions5 questions
  • Can you discuss your previous experiences and projects?
  • Describe how you implemented the take-home assignment.
  • Please solve the following three straightforward debugging problems.
