Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at RSA Security.
Intern
The first round is a more in-depth interview, could be with a hiring manager or team member, either in person or via video. They want to check your skills, experience, and if you fit the team. Then there are more rounds, maybe a panel interview with several people like team members, managers, or leaders. They also do behavioral and situational interviews to see how you'd handle job-related challenges, asking questions about your past experiences. Lastly, there's an HR and manager round.
- Questions derived from your resume
- Questions related to C++
Intern
I only had one interview, which was a phone call with two managers. They asked me to go through my resume and then asked questions related to the job, like how much experience I have with data analysis and my coding background. They also discussed the projects. Although the job description wasn't very detailed when I applied, they explained the role's requirements during the interview. They finished by saying they had more interviews that week and would reply in a week. A few days later, HR called to offer me the position.
