Symantec Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details The overall hiring process was great. The HR representative made me feel welcome during the interview which made the interview less stressful. Additionally, the interview with the hiring manager was great fun. It didn't feel like an interview but more like a couple of friends discussing work. The final phase of the interview was a technical interview with a current employee. Once again it was a relaxed atmosphere which allowed me to show my full potential

Interview Details It began with a phone interview with the hiring manager which lasted about 15 minutes and was mostly about my C++ experience. Afterward, I was invited for the in person interview a week later. I met with the hiring manager and a software engineer and discussed my project experience and was asked some basic questions about C++. I was scheduled to meet with two additional people but was told that they were in a meeting and the interview concluded. I received an e-mail that I didn't get the position 45 minutes later.

Interview Details 11 rounds of discussion, panel, presentation etc etc...

Interview Details I was approached by a recruiter for a position within VeriSign's User Authentication business, originally on a contract-to-hire basis. I initially had a phone interview with a member of the Professional Services team. Though scheduled for an hour, our conversation was so pleasant that we actually spoke for closer to two.
This was followed up with a technical interview with two other members of the team, and the Director of the group.
En route to my third interview, an in-person with three of the team members, I received word of Symantec's acquisition of the VeriSign security business. Though only made public that day, the guys I met with had been aware of it for some time. They conveyed their faith in the business.
The final "interview" was with the VP overseeing the division. Without really asking me any questions, she offered me the position, adding that with the acquisition they'd decided to make it a direct-hire rather than risk losing the headcount.
All in all, the entire process took about a month, and was extremely pleasant.

Negotiation Details – I was very pleased with the offer made. However, shortly after the acquisition, a portion of the team left to start a new company. As they were attempting to recruit the rest of us to go with them, the EVP offered an immediate raise, increased bonus structure and restricted stock units. Suffice to say, I stuck around.

Interview Details Contacted by hiring manager after posting my CV, first call then on site meeting.

Interview Details I started off with a phone interview, in which I talked about my previous projects. Then I had an in person interview that lasted 3 hours.
