Data Specialist
I interviewed with ZeroFox back in September, and it was a 3-round process. First up was a technical interview with the team lead, which felt pretty chill and went smoothly. Then, the manager and director handled the second and third rounds together – those were a bit challenging but manageable overall. The HR team was super nice and professional the whole time. The only bummer was the salary offer, which seemed low compared to similar roles.

Data Specialist
It was a good experience with zerofox. The interview was super easy. You usually go through 2 short interviews. They asked about very basic questions, like where you live, how you commute, and what your availability is. One question they asked was what are the threads in cyber security. You know right after if you are hired or not.

Data Specialist
The interview process seemed pretty good and organized, which was nice at first. The pay they offered was way too low for what the job entails though, and the management team didn't seem to lead very well, which was a big bummer. But the office itself was clean and modern, and the people there seemed friendly and easy to talk to, so that was cool.
- Can you discuss technical aspects of spam profiles?
- What are some general cybersecurity tools and practices you are familiar with?
