I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ReliaQuest (Riverside, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
I had 5 different remote interviews. Two of them were video interviews and the rest were telephone interviews. One of them was very technical. While I didn’t get an offer, I took a lot from the experience. I most definitely plan on staying in touch and trying again in the next couple months. What I’ve read about ReliaQuest as a company, they are everything I’m looking for in an organization as I’m starting my career in cyber security. Not only that, but my current goal is work in a security analyst or security engineer position, both of which are available with their team. I’ve been interviewing around the cyber security market for a couple months now and getting into an entry level position with a masters degree and no professional cyber security experience seems to be very difficult.
Competency based interview. No forward notice in regard to which competencies wanted.
Interview is straightforward but also some curveballs so do your research.
Multiple round process so be prepared to wait.
It was a mix of technical and personal questions. The technical questions started off extremely easy and got harder and harder as the interview went on. There were also several scenario questions.
