I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at NopSec in Oct 2022
Interview
The interviewer didn't show up for 3 separate calls with no explanation. They seem quite unprofessional and unorganized. Twice I had to email and remind them to send me a calendar invite.

Question 1
Never got that far. The recruiter prepped me for a number of questions that we never got to. Waste of time.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at NopSec in Dec 2021
Interview
CEO seemed like she was using our interview as free consulting call on her competition’s sales strategy. Avoided my questions or invitations to talk about her company multiple times. Hardly addressed the role in which I was applying. Shady, from what I could tell, and extremely unprofessional.

Me: “Would love to hear about the successes you’ve had as a company.”
Interviewer: “What do you use as a hook for your outreach?”

Interview
Maybe the worst interview experience I've ever had to deal with.
I initially saw a listing for Sales Engineer on Glassdoor and I met the qualifications and the listed salary was reasonable. I applied and had a phone screen where we went over the basics of the position and they asked what my salary range was and I told them the list salary of $x was fine.
They invited me to their office for an in-person interview where I met with a Sales Manager and after I was invited back for a more technical interview.
The technical interview also went fine, I met with the Director of Engineering and CEO. The CEO said she liked me but was a little worried I would eventually leave them for Google (I never mentioned anything about applying to other places) but asked me to come back in a couple weeks with a presentation on how I would sell the product.
I spent a lot of time preparing the presentation and it seemed to go well. The CEO said they could tell I put a lot of work into it and they would get back to me soon.
I never heard back from them, I followed up a couple of times (pleasantly) but was completely ghosted. A month or two later, they relisted the position but with the salary at about 35% lower than before.
Very disappointing, judging from their office, I'm guessing they didn't actually have the budget to pay what was a slightly-below average salary for that type of skillset.
If they just responded I would not have gone out of my way to write all this, avoid!
