I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Zoom Communications (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2020
Interview
Zoom recruiter Valerie Messa reached out to me via LinkedIn. She was really helpful and very responsive. I had two rounds of interview apart from initial discussion about the role and my experience/interests with the recruiter.
From the screening to final decision was less than two weeks and the recruiter was very engaged with me and the hiring manager through the whole process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions during the interview were related to the job role and my experience. They mostly dived into remediating vulnerabilities and lot of follow up questions with different business requirements.

Interview
There were multiple rounds of interviews:
1. Screening with a recruiter to see if I was a good fit for them
2. Screening with the team manager to see if they were a good fit for me (I like that they do this early to not waste people's time if it wouldn't be the right job)
3. Two technical interviews (back-to-back) with different members of the team
4. A final interview with the team manager

Question 1
They were pretty standard questions, tailored to the experience on my resume. There were a few things I stumbled on because I was nervous but they were patient and didn't expect me to be a walking encyclopedia. They were more interested in hearing my thought processes, seeing how I approached problems, and seeing how I handled stress.
