I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Nov 2025
Interview
I interviewed for the Graduates LEAP program. The process started with an on-site technical screening day where around 30 candidates completed a laptop-based test. The test included three fairly easy questions focused on string manipulation and parsing, and we could choose our preferred programming language. I was informed the same day that I passed.
The following day, I had a technical interview with 2 interviewers, which included a Leetcode-style question. The interviewers were kind, attentive, and made me feel comfortable and respected throughout the interview. Overall, my experience was very positive and left a good impression of the team and the company.
