I had a recruiter phone screen, then a second interview with the Hiring Manager and Director. The interviews felt rushed and the Director wasn't very engaged. They said I'd hear back by the end of the week but I never did, and the role was reposted. I wasn't actively looking, so I get that timing and fit can change. But timely feedback is good for candidates and makes the company look good. The pay for this Sr. role seemed low for the experience and security qualifications they wanted. For companies wanting experienced CSMs with cybersecurity certs, competitive pay is important, and I don't think this is it.

It was a really frustrating experience with Sophos' recruitment team in Canada. I finished all three interview rounds. The recruiter said she'd get back to me by Friday because she was going on vacation for two weeks, but she never did and didn't tell me who else to contact. I reached out to her Director, who responded but couldn't give me any real updates. When the recruiter returned, three weeks after my last interview, I followed up again. Her Director responded, saying I didn't get the job, but he used the wrong pronouns for the hiring manager, which was really unprofessional and showed he was using an email template. He offered to set up a feedback call but passed it on, so I had to chase again a week later to set it up. I really liked the actual interviews and was excited about Sophos, but this recruitment experience was incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful.

The interview process was pretty straightforward and efficient. I appreciated that they considered not just the resume but also personality to ensure team members would get along and work well together.
