I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks
Interview
Highly Unprofessional people, they dont even care to respond to candidates after interview. Recruiters will call you at random time while your interview scheduling is going. Their interview process is kind of weird. They will call you onsite for taking technical test before moving to full onsite even for experienced candidates.
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks in May 2025
Interview
Recruiter(Me'shel Babish) reached out on an online application. Spoke a lot and gave her cell phone number.
Arranged a call with hiring manager. Asked to call to update after the interview. It went good. He concluded that he will work with the recruiter to arrange the next round. The recruiter just ghosted without any update. For whatever reason they decided not to move forward recruiters not having professional courtesy is not a good sign of culture.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Interview
Very nice team lead. Described the company and the product. Then some architecture questions. Then one technical question: shuffling an array, then optimization for that algorithm. The experience was nice.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks
Interview
Interviewed with the hiring manager and several members of the team. Most members I ended up interviewing with did not have a Software Engineering position, and were instead Security Experts.
