      Anonymous interview candidate
      Santa Clara, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Santa Clara, CA) in May 2025

      Interview

      I applied through employee referral and recruiter reached out to me in a few days. First round was with HR to go over the role. Second was phone screen with a easy string coding problem. Next was on-site panel interview with 4 more rounds. 3 technical and 1 behavioral. All 3 technical rounds were not leetcode style and focused on JSON processing, test framework design, tests for the psuedo code etc.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Detect loop in graph type question, flatten nested JSON, general JSON parsing, etc
