I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks in Jan 2021
Interview
screening call with HR + five rounds of interviews with hiring manager, skip-level manager, cross-team managers and a peer. The whole process took about 5-6 weeks. Mostly behavioural questions + a few hypothetical questions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Santa Clara, CA) in May 2024
Interview
The interview process was very typical. I received a recruiter screen, which was just a quick 15-minute call discussing the role and pushing me towards the hiring manager. I interviewed over Zoom with the hiring manager for the role. I believed the interview went pretty well and I was able to ask questions. I received a call after about a week from the recruiter, letting me know that I wasn't selected for the role, citing that they were looking for someone with a little bit more cold calling experience.

I applied online. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Santa Clara, CA) in Feb 2024
Interview
I had a great conversation with multiple people there, including a manager, but they ended up changing the later round interview process multiple times. On top of that, they switched the dates of a few of them with short notice, around a 24-hour notice, and who I would be speaking to. It normally wouldn't be an issue but I had to rearrange my travel plans to accommodate the new days and times. All in all, I didn't end up with the job but I ended up at a great company so it ended up working out for both parties involved.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks in Jan 2024
Interview
I interviewed in the beginning of 2024 - the process was pretty smooth, I believe a total of 3 interviews, one with the recruiter, one with the hiring manager, and a role play with a panel of sales management. Everyone I interviewed with was very kind and easy to talk to. Each step of the process the recruiter kept me in the loop with feedback & got back to me quickly which I appreciated. I got an offer, but the pay was too low so I declined.
