      Information Security Architect Interview

      14 Mar 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mountain View, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Upwork (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2014

      Interview

      Caught the posting via Indeed and applied directly. Telephone interview with HR recruiter and hiring managers went well; brought onsite for 4 hour in person interviews (6 people total, 30 to 45 min each). Position seemed to be created due to some DDOS attacks they have been subject to, merger with their competitor, etc. Sadly, it is an individual contributor role under a VP in IT - immediate conflict of interest. Good luck getting any buy in from the C levels for your efforts. Things seemed to go well - and then no feedback at all. Over a month passes, reached out by some body shop headhunter looking for a Security architect - guess where? Yep, elance. Asked headhunter for feedback, was supposed to hear back from him by the end of the day. It has been a week, nothing - and the headhunter will not return calls. Unprofessional.
