I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks
Interview
Telephone interview with their internal recruiter who can be quite arrogant. Phone call with the director and then panel interview with 15 min presentation, technical questions and other general questions. 1.5 hour in total. Felt like a graduate style interview and not for a senior/consultant role. Stick to your time for presentation- aim for 10/12 mins to allow for questions.
Didn’t get asked about the company, or the competition. Recruiter said they are a network company not a security company. No competency based questions.

A recruiter or hiring manager conduct a brief phone call to discuss your background and interest in the role. Technical portion + behavorial questions and how you can talk to technical and non-technical audiences. Overall standard procedures and go into it with transparency.

Question 1
Name a time when you experienced failure and how did you handle it?
It was on zoom. The interview was dirty and sharp and only went for 40min. It was a good way to start the process. It is a multiple interview process's to get thru to be selected
