      Information Security Interview

      Aug 23, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Roanoke, VA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Advance Auto Parts (Roanoke, VA) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      I was invited into nondescript conference room and several people took turns interviewing me one on one for roughly 30 minutes each. I applied for a senior technical role so I was prepared for a whiteboard session but the room did not possess a whiteboard. I expected a technical interview and while they asked some technical questions, I soon realized that most of the people interviewing me did not possess the breadth and depth of security experience that you might be accustomed to at other organizations. Each person I spoke with had admirable technical and management backgrounds but had come from other areas of technology and described a fractured security org with little continuity in leadership. I was about an hour into the interview when I concluded that AAP was not a good fit or opportunity but I completed the process anyway. I was interviewed for roughly 5 hours, each person operated from their own script with their own agenda, and I was not once offered anything to drink.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I paraphrase: Why do you want to work for AAP? Why did you apply for the opportunity? Walk me through your resume. Describe how you would go about implementing event logging. How would you go about preparing the organization for an audit.
