There were multiple technical round interviews with different teams. I attended three technical rounds and then withdrew my application. The first round questions were basic security related. In further rounds, there were a mix of basic security and scenario based questions.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Redscan (London, England) in Sept 2023
Interview
It was a combination of personal questions, technical and behavioural questions. It was roughly an 45 mins/ 1 hour long. Overall the interview is based from a quiz that you have to do in order to be considered as a candidate for an interview,
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you stay updated with latest cyber security news ? If a user is suspicious of a malware being present on his device, what would you do ? Talk me through the TCP handshake? DNS Monitoring.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Redscan (London, England) in Aug 2022
Interview
Three interview process, described as an entry level role on the recruitment side but clearly the SOC itself is looking for something else entirely.
In each interview, lots of niche questions beyond the basics, things that a generalist even with experience in SOC wouldn't likely have much knowledge of (eg Kerberos specifics - which is typically not found outside of Fintech.)
Another company seemingly looking for unicorns with little patience or desire to develop people at a true entry level.

Question 1
