First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Presidio.
Full Stack Developer Intern
So there were 4 rounds total. First was an online assessment with a mix of aptitude, technical, and 3 coding questions which were pretty tough. Out of about 50 students, only 5 got shortlisted for the next stage. Second was a technical one-on-one with a panel of 2 interviewers who really focused on our projects and gave us some scenarios with problems to solve. Only 2 out of the 5 made it to the next round. The third round was about application development where we were given a task and specific tech stacks to use, with a deadline. We could use AI and were frequently monitored, asked to save our prompts. I didn't pass this round, but 1 person got selected for the final stage. The last round was a general HR interview with basic questions, and there was almost no elimination there.
- 3 coding questions covering dynamic programming, sliding window, and graph
- Scenario questions based on your Web Development project
- Can you draw the ER diagram for a Food delivery website?
Solutions Architect
The first interview is a 30-minute screening call, either with a recruiter or hiring manager, to check if you're qualified and still interested. They'll typically ask about your background with security frameworks, tools, and vulnerability management, and your general thoughts on risk and compliance. This chat also touches on your communication style, how you solve problems, and your fit with the company's culture and needs. It's basically setting the stage for more technical or scenario-based interviews later on.
- Can you walk me through your cybersecurity career path and how you've applied it in practice at each of your previous roles?
- Tell me about your experience with security frameworks and tools.
- How do you handle vulnerability management?
Associate Engineer
The process kicked off with an online assessment, which included 15 multiple-choice questions and 7 programming challenges. These programming questions were tough, involving two pseudo-code questions, three coding questions, and two SQL questions focused on GROUP BY concepts. Following that was a technical interview with two interviewers who reviewed my resume and GitHub portfolio, asking some DSA and SQL questions. Then there was a programming round where I had to code based on my resume and profile. The final stage was a managerial round to assess my communication skills.
- Could you elaborate on the programming aspects you are specialized in, as listed on your resume?
Digital Marketing Manager
A recruiter from Presidio reached out via email, sending what seemed like generic, templated messages expressing interest in my background. Despite persistent follow-ups, I eventually agreed to an introductory call. However, after I responded, the recruiter informed me that my background wasn't a suitable match for the role. I felt it was a waste of time given the initial excessive outreach for a role I wasn't even qualified for.
- Can you talk this week or next?
- Would you be available for a brief call this week or next?
- Is there time for a quick chat this week or next?
