I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Attivo Networks (Tampa, FL) in Mar 2022
Interview
There were too many interviews, four in total. I was happy to meet all the folks, but I was also ready to get to work. I got an offer, but could not sign the NDA. There's a loophole in the NDA that says that any computer I use can be monitored, and and my network can be monitored and recorded. They intended that to mean in their buildings and on their computers, I'm guessing, but it's not clearly specified. I have other customers, and my wife also works from home. They should not have access to those files because the NDA is written poorly. I asked for a shorter, clear NDA that simply protected their confidential information (which I have no intention of either knowing or divulging), and was refused. Truly unfortunate. I was excited about the work and the team, but in this modern security climate... They shouldn't be hiring someone who would sign that, as-is. Frankly, my refusal to sign that should have been the interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Attivo Networks (Bengaluru) in May 2021
Interview
Most unprofessonal interview i have ever faced. I was interviewed for their bangalore team and had 2 rounds; first round was just random talk with two senior guys. Second round was of 3 hours with same two senior guys and they asked me to code a multi threaded producer/consumer problem to retrieve module info of the binary , which i did. The most unprofessional part of the interview was the senior guys went on yelling and insulting on top of their voice as if i was already on their payroll . Irony is that they were not expecting the solution to the problem , but how variable names were declared or how the method names were named etc. Which also gave me a glimpse of the pathetic work culture. Thank god i didn't join this company.
One advice to the interviewers if you are reading this, please behave well with the candidates. You might be in the comfortable position at the interview table, but candiates are already in pressure , your yelling and insulting will only make it worse and every candidate will give a second thought of the company while joining.

Interviewed with everyone on the marketing team for 3 hours+ in the Fremont Office. I was offered the job shortly after. Was told that the company would probably sell within a year and so I was excited to join my first start up.
