I interviewed for an innovation-focused role at Symantec. The process was pretty straightforward—starting with a recruiter screen, then a few conversational rounds with hiring managers and team members. The questions were more about mindset, creativity, and cross-functional collaboration than deep technical skills. Overall, it felt more like a mutual fit conversation than a test.
