I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Secureworks
Interview
I was referred by a current intern. Interviewed within a couple of days. The interview consisted of 15-30 minutes of behavioral questions, followed by 30-45 minutes technical questions. I think a referral goes a long way for this one. I received the acceptance letter a few days later.
The behavioral interview was more like a conversation between myself and the recruiter. I guess he wanted to make sure I wasn't a socially inept robot and could articulate my thoughts.
The technical question was in front of the recruiter, one of the team manager, and one of the team leaders. The interview was given by the team leader that I would later work at.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were nothing extremely difficult. They asked basic Java concepts (because I told them that was my most experience language). There were a few basic algorithm problems as well, such as sorts, and a database question that involved being given a scenario and was asked to design a database schema accordingly.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Secureworks in Aug 2021
Interview
Initial video call. Then a take home. As I (as well as others) use multiple Github accounts (Github and local), it was assumed that I cheated on the take home assignment. A red flag. If a prospective employer cannot afford you the basic assumptions (honesty and integrity) how are you supposed to reciprocate that in return. It was automatically assumed that I had plagiarized rather than ask why the scenario existed in the first place (Two authors. One from editing the readme on Github and one from my local config). Shows the company doesn't trust.
Hope this sheds light into not only the interview process, but the company as a whole.
