Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process felt disjointed, with long gaps followed by sudden activity, making it hard to gauge the company’s urgency. Communication was inconsistent, and different interviewers seemed misaligned, creating a sense of internal disconnect. The lack of a clear timeline and decision-making process could be a red flag for candidates, raising concerns about broader operational efficiency. While the company is a leader in cybersecurity, a more structured hiring experience would better reflect its reputation and help attract top talent.

He did mention that they had already shortlisted some candidates, but he would still pass my resume to the hiring manager. Later, I found out they hired from the already shortlisted candidates.
