I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at VMware
Interview
A process of 5 remote interviews with several people distributed geographically around the world. A face-to-face interview. They seemed that they do not know what they are looking for from a technical perspective. Very poor experience and a huge waste of time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Either general abstract security questions, that you do not even have to be a security engineer to know the answers, i.e. What TLS stands for ?
- Or very specific questions from their daily tasks they feel comfortable of asking.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Palo Alto, CA) in Sept 2013
Interview
I gave them a business card at BlackHat security conference to win some software.
