The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (London, England)
Interview
Extremely long 4 months process with 4 rounds after the initial recruiter call, panel presentation for the last stage. Average of two weeks between each round with little to no information around what to expect and prepare for. Most of the managers simply go through the same list of questions as asked in previous rounds, in a very unilateral manner. Some showed up very late and some even did not show up at all for the panel. After initially being very keen to communicate, the recruiter never bothered to give any feedback once the last round was done.

Question 1
Technical round was around network security basics. Some of the interviews felt like I was applying for an AE role rather than SE and questions revolved mainly around past sales numbers.
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.

Question 1
Name a time when you experienced failure and how did you handle it?
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
