      Security Engineer Interview

      26 Apr 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Alexandria, VA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at The Motley Fool (Alexandria, VA) in Dec 2020

      Interview

      The company recruiter I worked with and everyone who interviewed me spoke with candor about the position and the company, and over two months after being hired, everything they said was accurate. I had one interview with the recruiter, one with the hiring manager, then four back-to-back interviews with 2 interviewers in each interview, which added up to between 3 & 4 hours. The interviewers delved into my work background, technical expertise, thoughts and opinions about cyber security, and answered my questions, including what they were looking for in an ideal candidate. We did a pretty thorough job of interviewing each other. Everyone was down-to-earth and personable.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Which specific security systems did you personally implement? Which specific security systems did you personally manage? What challenges have you encountered in your prior security work and how did you overcome them?
