I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ReliaQuest (Tampa, FL) in Jan 2020
Interview
The interview process seemed to be on the longer side for a beginner security analyst position. The interview consisted of three total interviews. Initial, technical screening, and the final interview/offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe common web application exploits and how to best defend against them.
The interview process felt unnecessarily complicated and had too many layers of people involved. I first had a phone screen, then multiple technical interviews, followed by behavioral interviews, and finally a panel interview. Each step repeated similar questions.

Question 1
One question I was asked was, “What are insecure ports and why do they pose a risk to an organization’s security?”
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ReliaQuest (Tampa, FL)
Interview
Incredibly hard for just a 70k position. Included a 4 round interview process along with a 25 question quiz. You would think at the last round with the managers, it would be a welcoming interview but absolutely not.

Interview
They. asked me about my background and some technical questions about the red team/blue team. Offensive vs. defensive security. Commonly used ports on computers. Web-based browser attacks. Common types of malware. Once you get past the recruiter you need to take a 25-question technical test. The questions below were what were displayed on the technical test.

Question 1
A screen displayed with a Windows event log or process viewer. They asked to identify the suspicious activity. There were a ton of processes running within the viewer varying widely. I'm sure a lot of it was common processes on a computer and others not so much.
An image displayed of a Linux configuration terminal. There was a long string of random numbers and letters. The question was to identify what type of attack was going on in the terminal. There was some type of command above the string of characters but I can't remember.
there were multiple post/get request https pages. There was a lot of random information that I didn't know. A user name was also called bad actor or something spread within the request.
There were multiple network topologies displayed. So it showed a router connected to a switch and host devices. The three host pc were red saying they had been infected. The question was to find out why the pcs were all infected.
JSYK the test was extremely difficult for this level of a job. They said they were hiring new grads but if you haven't been a role like this your screwed unless your a technical genius. They lied
