The recruiter asked my salary requirements, why I felt I would fit in with the mission, and other very general questions. In the phone interview, I was asked more specific questions about how I would handle different situations relevant to the position. During the corporate interviews, we mainly discussed specifics of the position and our expectations, and the local interviews were very much the same. At every level, the interviewers emphasized the mission.

I declined the further interview process as the group of interviewers looked distracted and not the right person with knowledge in the field. One of the Person was C-suite, CISO and in almost all the questions he was insisting that he was CISO and questions were presented putting himself in the scenario as third person. pretty wired. The other person seemed has applied himself for that position I believe and showing a loyalty towards his manager in each question by kind of answering the question I would have done this i would have done this pretty funny. My feeling company may be great but these two people will make life worst, no point in proceeding with interview.
