Technical Coding

It was a long and tiring interview process with over 10 rounds. I felt like I met the same people multiple times, and they seemed quite indecisive. There was a take-home exercise that took a full day to complete properly. We discussed salary in every round, but after the final one, they informed me my expectation was outside their budget.

Coding Technical Behavioral

I applied online and then got an offline assessment with two coding questions. One was simple, the other involved sorting. I had to test the code on my own computer and email them my solution. About a month later, they got back to me to set up an onsite interview. It was 3 rounds face-to-face. The first round was a casual chat about my experience and my knowledge of security products. The second round covered language fundamentals and a coding problem. The third round focused on unit testing.
