I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks in Feb 2022
Interview
1. Some asynchronous back and forth with the recruiter to answer some basic questions. Did not talk about salary. I was told salary would be discussed after the first interview.
2. Zoom meeting with a member of the team. They asked a few questions about my experience and then jumped straight into the Codility platform. It was one of those leetcode style problems.
Found out that the role wasn't what advertised in the job description after feeling somewhat embarrassed and anxious from the Codility exercise.

1st round is with the hiring manager, gave a coding problem (variation of graph problem word ladder) and asked for improvement (multi-thread). Didn't need to run and test code.
2nd round was with 2 engineers, this was a problem-solving round. Given a piece of code, how to improve it (multi-thread again). Only need to write sudo code.
3nd round was with 2 engineers again, a system design round. Not a typical system design problem, more like a real problem in the work.
There was a conversation with HR, and then I was scheduled for an interview with a team leader about my technology stack. According to the stack, he asked me deeper questions to check my understanding. The next interview consisted of a technical question, posed as a LeetCode problem, and a coding question.
