I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Washington, DC) in Oct 2023
Interview
My experience was professional and the internal recruiters were active, friendly and responsive.
Hiring Mgr was friendly, knowledgeable and open to my many questions. I could see myself working here, unfortunately the feeling wasn’t mutual & they went with another candidate.🤦♂️
I suspect they already had their chosen candidate. Interview was just too easy and the position was filled the next day. Nothing wrong with that. Just a sign of a solid company with a healthy bench of talented folks to come onboard. Count me as one of them.
Hr, SEM, RSM, Country Man, panel total 6 rounds. Panel presentation need to present a solution or security product. It is not very difficult but they will test you response
A recruiter or hiring manager conduct a brief phone call to discuss your background and interest in the role. Technical portion + behavorial questions and how you can talk to technical and non-technical audiences. Overall standard procedures and go into it with transparency.

It was on zoom. The interview was dirty and sharp and only went for 40min. It was a good way to start the process. It is a multiple interview process's to get thru to be selected
