SECURA Interview Questions
& Process

The interview for the Chief Information Security Officer role was professional and organized. It kicked off with a technical evaluation focusing on cybersecurity and risk management. This was followed by meetings with executives to discuss security strategies in relation to the company's goals. A case study on a data breach was also part of it, along with a leadership evaluation. Communication was consistently clear throughout, and they looked for both technical skills and strategic foresight.

The interview process started with a 30-minute phone call where they reviewed my application and asked about my education. After that, I had an in-person interview that lasted about an hour, split into two 30-minute sessions with different groups. To finish, I was asked to proofread a job description. The vibe was pretty relaxed and friendly. However, I was disappointed they emailed me over a week later to say I didn't get the job, instead of calling. They also posted another HR internship opening almost immediately. I felt they could have just told me I wasn't a good fit rather than saying they hired someone else when the position was still open.

The interview process is a bit drawn out. I received a phone call within a few days to schedule a phone interview. I had the phone interview the following week with HR. They said if they were interested I would hear again within 2 weeks. I heard back about 3 weeks later and was selected for an onsite interview. I had a three part interview process. First with a team supervisor for half an hour, next with two managers for another half hour and finally with HR. I heard back almost a month later. I ultimately turned down the job when I was called. I had already accepted another position. If you really want the job you need to be patient.

I applied and got a call for a phone interview pretty quickly. I interviewed on the phone and then didn't hear anything for about 6 weeks, so I figured they'd gone in a different direction. Then I got a call for an in-person interview with 4 people, which lasted an hour and a half. They said I'd hear something in 2 weeks. After a month with no news, I reached out since I saw the position was advertised again. I got a form email the next day saying they hired someone else.
