      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Optiv (Overland Park, KS)

      Interview

      Very fast process, maybe 2 weeks total from start to finish. A couple calls with a talent acquisition partner, a Hirevue online one sided interview (non technical), a technical 20 question phone interview covering basic networking, a face to face interview with managers and a network diagram quiz.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What are common port numbers 21,22,23,25,443,80, etc? What are some basic Linux commands? What does arp do?

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Optiv

      Interview

      The first interview I had was a digital interview. I was asked about 20 questions and you have about 30 seconds (per question) to record your responses. My second interview was a traditional face-to-face interview. I was asked more in-depth industry questions (compared to the first interview) and also given a "pop quiz" in a sense, towards the end. After the second interview (about 1-2 weeks later), I received a call and was given an offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What's your favorite place to vacation?

      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Optiv in Jan 2013

      Interview

      If you know little bit of Linux and have your networking basics. It's easy to get a job here in this position. 2 phases of interview. One by HR and one technical from the management.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you change shell in linux ? What program do you use to edit files in linux ? What is DNS ? What is the source port of any outgoing traffic ?
