Interview
Very pleasant and direct process. Two separate interviews which covered my resume on the first and a communications and presentation type review for the second. These were compatibility interviews which hopefully lead to a skills interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CyberArk (London, England) in Feb 2019
Interview
One of the longest interview processes I have ever had.
First I had a telephone interview with the Talent Acquisition Manager.
7 days later I had a telephone interview with the Senior Manager.
2 days later, I had another telephone interview with the VP of Security Services.
Then I spend few more days completing the technical challenge.
After completing this, I prepared a presentation about what I learned from the Technical challenge. The Senior Manager was very pleased with my skills. This gave me lots of hope in vain.
I had to follow up with the Talent manager for more than 4 weeks. Be aware of the Talent Acquisition Manager in Israel, as some times they are not responsive at all. After that, I thought that was it. I spend a month waiting for them to come back to me for a final F2F interview which never happened. At the end, they contacted me to say that other candidate was selected.
Super slow process (almost 2 months). I believe it would be good for Cyberark to speed things up in terms of on-boarding processes. It was a shame that they did not selected me as I really wanted this job.
Now we move on :)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Classic get-to-know you questions, then a technical challenge where you get to know the product and familiarize with it. I think the Technical Challenge is a very smart way of interviewing candidates.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CyberArk (Newton, MA) in Apr 2013
Interview
I'm giving this interview a negitive review because of the complexitiy of the product install. But the people are very nice and helpful during the process, but it is difficult.
The process started with a phone screen by the recruiter. She asked the general technical questions and some depth of experience based questions. Why was I looking, what was I looking for. The normal basic stuff. She was polite and friendly and seemed genuinely interested in my application to the company. The next step was a phone screening with the Director of Field Services, this was a challenge. He was very detailed and looked for some very in depth answers. Based on the company’s products and services, it is not surprising he spent a good deal of time on the nuances of how encryption and password security works. In the end, while very challenging his goal was to not only determine my knowledge but how I think on my feet and if I could think reasonably about the topic. Could I apply logic from one area to another that I was more comfortable with.
Having passed that, the next step was to build an installation of the company’s flagship product in a virtual environment. I was given a temp license, the install packages, the documentation and some goals. I was given 10 days to take a laptop install a server OS, create VM’s of various types and then demonstrate the use of the product. It was by far the most difficult interview process I have ever encountered.
