I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GM Financial (Dallas, TX) in Dec 2023
Interview
I submitted my application on November 7, 2023, and a recruiter reached out via email on December 7, 2023. During the initial contact, I discussed my professional and educational background. Another recruiter contacted me on December 14, 2023, to schedule an interview. They shared a link with interview preparation tips. The interview took place on December 21, 2023, via Microsoft Teams, involving three team members – the cybersecurity team manager, a team member, and someone from the GRC space.
The interview was laid-back, but straight forward.
