      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks

      Interview

      Process was pretty quick. Recruiter responded almost immediately for any emails. They have a standard format. The first round is purely technical. They ask you to write a piece of code, and then they ask you write test cases to test your own code. Every interviewer did the same thing. Though it was wildfire team, the questions were purely meant for a QA-ops engineer. No questions on actual threat analysis which was surprising.

      Interview questions [1]
