I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Splunk (New York, NY) in Dec 2021
Interview
I had a standard screening and panel interview. It was par consisting of the hiring manager and two technical specialists. All three interviews were good. The interviewers allowed me talk and they asked fair questions. There was very little overlap between the interviews, so I feel like the skillsets of my assessors were chosen correctly. Overall, it was very open-ended and I was given a fair opportunity to present my skillset. I feel like this opportunity also helped me identify areas of my interviewing skills that need sharpening.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was allowed to talk during the interview, which was great. Consequently, I wasn't asked very many questions - especially during the first interview where I spoke with someone more closely aligned to my skillset.
The second interviewer, whose task was to evaluate my understanding of threat behaviors, initiated probably one of the the more important discussions which was in regards to shell scripts. What are they, how do attackers use them, how can you tell if they've done something, etc.
