I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Bengaluru) in May 2023
Interview
The interview process was easy we had 3 rounds this is college placement . I am from a 3-tier college. But this is not Job or Intern come Job offer, we will receive a apprenticeship contract form from some other company our pay role stands from that company only nothing to do with palo alto. It is like training with salary so it is up to the manager to convert or not, so don't have any hopes if you attending interview from three tier college to this company, see the offer letter better to apply to a different after 6 months of this appenticeship.
