I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Netcraft (London, England) in Nov 2020
Interview
I was asked set of written questions and given time to send my answers, which would then go to the CEO. Then there were two back-to-back stages of interviews with two separate teams. The first stage was mostly theoretical questions about network security in common applications, and the next was practical questions based on their applications.
