      Senior Product Security Engineer Interview

      3 Jun 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Berlin
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at apaleo (Berlin)

      Interview

      Had a pathetic interview experience. Looked like the interview was taken by someone from product development team with no experience into application security. No questions were asked from application security domain. There was expectation to code efficiently like developers which is absurd. Expecting development background or able to code is understandable, but code with efficiency and that too from appsec guys, in the era of chatgpt?

      Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that your interview experience left you feeling frustrated. While our hiring process for Application Security roles includes elements that touch on development practices given the increasingly hybrid nature of modern AppSec we understand that expectations must be clearly communicated and aligned with the candidate’s background. Efficient coding should never be the only evaluation point, especially not in isolation or without relevance to real-world security scenarios. We also recognize your concern regarding interviewer alignment. We strive to ensure that our technical assessments are conducted by team members with relevant domain expertise. If we missed the mark here, that is not the experience we aim to deliver. We’re actively working to refine our processes to better reflect the evolving nature of security engineering one that values deep security acumen alongside practical development literacy. Thank you again for helping us improve. Sincerely, Apaleo Team
