Technical Behavioral
I went through four interview rounds with SonicWall. The first three, including the hiring manager, were good and I got positive feedback. They mostly talked about C programming, networking, and OS concepts, and the process felt fair and technical up to that point. But the fourth round with the VP was a letdown. Right from the start, the VP seemed dismissive even though I answered networking questions right. It felt like my answers were challenged to undermine me instead of checking my knowledge. They also asked if I was married and said that since I'm single, I should have more time to learn. This felt unrelated and inappropriate. Since I passed the earlier rounds with good feedback, the last round's tone was unexpected and made me uncomfortable. It seems the interview process isn't consistent at the leadership level. Interviews should stay professional, focused on the job, and respectful.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Questions about C Programming, Networking Concepts and also OS
- A personal question about marital status and if being single means more time for learning

Technical Behavioral
It was a positive experience, the questions were easy and for beginners. There was one technical round with two interviewers who asked questions about my project/internship and general CS topics. After that, there was an HR round where salary was discussed and negotiated.

Behavioral Coding Technical
Had a quick call with the recruiter first, then the hiring manager. The hiring manager asked about my previous work and threw in a few easy coding questions about arrays. We also chatted about microservices. The second round was with someone from India. They seemed to expect very specific answers, like a 'read my mind' kind of interview. I didn't feel great about it and wasn't really feeling the company or their work culture after that chat.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- What are your thoughts on simple array questions?
- Can you explain sorting algorithms?
- Do you have experience with asp.net core?
