      SOC Analyst Interview

      6 Apr 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Dublin, Dublin
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at ReliaQuest (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      My interviews (of which there were 5) experience with Reliaquest was far to long , slow and tedious (to give an idea I engaged with them on the 3rd of January 2019 and the interviews weren't finished until end of March). Over the course of the 5 interviews (all done virtually) it was quite clear most of the recruiters and interviews were reading from a sheet of paper for questions they should ask. On top of that, during the interviews i got asked the exact same type of questions by different people. This just showed to me there was zero communication between the different individuals. Everyone i talked to seemed to be below the age of 30, which I took to mean the company is quite young and does not have a lot of experience, ergo not much opportunities for real new experience to be gained. On three occasions during the interviews i was left waiting for someone to show up, first time they were 5 minutes later, second time less than 10 minutes and third time they were 15 minutes late. Outside of the actual scheduled interviews I told the recruiters that i was only available to talk after a specific time each day, but they commonly called me (on 4 occasions) outside of those hours with just a missed call and no voicemail left. Nor was there a followup email to say they tried to contact me. This reeked of unprofessionalism and poor time management. By the 4th stage i had already invested over 4 hours of my time and then i was asked to do a "personality test" which would take 2 hours to complete and it was a massive and ridiculous waste of time. They advertise their 8 weeks training in Tampa Bay Florida as a great thing, yet fail to take in to account that it takes people away from partners, friends and family. The "training" you receive is just on in-house tools they use, you do not gain any significant or relative certifications from the "training" Upon receiving the contract i was flabbergasted at the amount of stuff in there they didn't even mention during the 7+ hours I had talked to them. Mandatory drug testing, leave within 2 years and you pay back 17,000 dollars for their "training". After realising how little they actually communicated i looked them up more online (i usually do this after interview processes so i can do the interviews unbiased and not influenced by other peoples experiences) I saw many detailed negative reviews of people who worked there or do work there. Here on Glassdoor their reputation has shot down in the last year also which was a big red flag for me. By this time there were to many bad experiences and red flag and i rejected the offer. I was asked for a follow up call and i acknowledged and gave a specific time for it to take place and they never bothered to call. At no stage during the interviews was i made to feel they actually wanted to get to know me as a person.

      SOC Analyst Interview

      14 Jan 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Las Vegas, NV
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at ReliaQuest (Las Vegas, NV)

      Interview

      The interview process was pretty grueling. It was a technical interview, and about 58 of the 60 alloted minutes were used asking technical, specific questions. After that, since I passed, I would've had a follow up behavioral interview on site.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What are signs of an intrusion?

      SOC Analyst I Interview

      5 Apr 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Las Vegas, NV
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ReliaQuest (Las Vegas, NV)

      Interview

      Three things: 1. Teams interview with HR/Recruiter. 2. Quiz which has you identifying what's going on in a screenshot showcasing a scenario that may come across on the job. This was things like, Nmap, process abuse (think Windows processes), and Wireshark. 3. Technical interview with the potential team you'd be working on if you got/chose to accept the job. I haven't gotten to this part (but I've been allowed to move on to here). So it's not to bad of an interview process because the recruiters get back really fast, and every thing is completed within 1-2 weeks.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I asked basic things about ports, given an example of malware, XSS vs. SQLi, and how you would prioritize your triages. I have yet to get the offer, but I'm writing to get access.

      Interview

      Was told there would be a total of 4 interviews and got all the way up to the third but didn't receive an offer for the 4th. 1st interview is basic technical questions, 2nd is behavioral questions, 3rd is a more in-depth technical interview which is hard but very much doable.

      Offensive, defensive, networking, malware are the different sections tested.
