I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Santa Clara, CA)
Interview
There were 6 turns of the interview. After the first two, there was a 15 mins break. The whole process took rough 4 hours. The interview contained simple coding and reverse analysis knowledge. The difficulty is medium on average. It depends on interviewers.

2 phone screens followed by an onsite interview. Fairly technical. The phone screens are nice. Even the senior employees such as VP interview the candidate on site. Yes, even VPs ask technical questions and programming questions! The onsite process is pretty gruelling
