I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks in May 2021
Interview
I was in 3rd round, the guy who took interview was a techie and no doubt he is going to be a good asset to Palo.
BUT, the interview was not smooth, he made me nervous like a student viva, he wasn't even smiling a bit. I was actually waiting for that 1 hour to get over during the process, say about within 20-30 mins.
Instead of testing my skills that would help the org/team, he started testing his skills on me. All irrelevant to the role or the work,
And he did not want what I wanted to explain, rather he wanted me to explain what he had in mind, and whatever I could say, he had to either deny or he skipped the question until I said I was not sure.
This was the worst interview I’ve attended recently since I’ve been rigorously trying to switch and have attended with many good companies, I could say this is the worst!!
Had 6 rounds of tech interviews, they didn’t even send me a mail informing me of the outcome. Got a thumbs up from my last tech interviewer and the recruiter dodged my mails and calls. Utterly disrespectful. Shows how the company treats its employees, if you don’t make it here you’re lucky.
