Two interviews, one with the manager and one with a German HR person. The first was in Italian, the second in English. It's for an internship position, they made me feel comfortable, very relaxed and friendly.

It took longer than I thought it would to get through this. I ended up having to come back three separate times because of scheduling conflicts. I also never got to meet the actual team I would be joining.

Behavioral Technical

I got recommended by someone at Sophos for a sales job. I had a good call with the Talent Acquisition team in January and they said I'd get a second call. It's been over a month and still nothing. The Sophos employee who recommended me has asked the Talent Acquisition Team about it twice already, but no response. This process has been really bad compared to other companies and doesn't seem like Sophos's usual culture.
