The entire process dragged on for more than two months, requiring me to constantly follow up for updates. There were far too many interviews, and the duration of each interview felt unnecessarily excessive.

Interview
The interview process took approximately one month. It involved a chat with the talent acquisition specialist, a technical discussion with the team leads, a hands-on lab exercise with the same leads to demonstrate understanding of troubleshooting and some basic network security attacks, a conversation with the Customer Operations VP, and a final verbal offer meeting. The talent acquisition specialist was very responsive, and all team members were friendly and passionate about Pentera.

Interview
Four interviews. The first is with a recruiter and is a quick meeting to test for fit. Second is rapid fire technical questions. Third is a supervised, hands on technical 'CTF'. I experienced long delays in communication and long times between interviews.
