I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Dec 2020
Interview
I applied for the Junior Software Engineer position in the XSOAR team. I was contacted by HR and given three days to complete a home task before my technical interview. Several weeks after the interview, I was told over the phone that the company would be progressing with other candidates.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Home Task (Three days to complete, submit ahead of interview): Write a Python method that receives a file hash, makes a GET request to a specific VirusTotal endpoint, and outputs the scan results as a string formatted in Markdown
Modify home task code:
- Write a Python script that takes system arguments (from the terminal/command prompt) and calls the main scanner method
- Order the results alphabetically according to the name of the scanner and show the number of days since the file has last been scanned by this scanner

Dynamic programming question- number of cars that can cross bridge without exceeding the maximum weight. When a driver turns back, all drivers behind him move one position closer. Need to find the min number of drivers that will need to turn back
The process included an online Codility coding test focused on problem solving and data structures, followed by a technical face-to-face interview. The interview covered algorithmic questions, coding exercises, and discussion of my approach, complexity, and problem-solving skills. The interviewers were professional and asked in-depth technical questions.
