I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FireEye (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2012
Interview
Like all other interview reviews, I had a pretty bad experience. Would you like to work for a company where:
- Director asks to come onsite for 1:1 very next day and you squeeze the interview into your schedule and when you reach there, there is no lunch (for a lunch interview), and the manager does not even care to come and talk with you.
- After repeated queries, no one responds about the state of your interview
The interview questions were pretty average which makes me think that they don't hire based on merit but some political fit. Another takeaway was the company is very chaotic and even if they go IPO, they will be a 1 trick pony.
I applied online. I interviewed at FireEye (Bengaluru) in Jan 2023
Interview
Highly Technical and Good standards of questions. More of problem solving and some programs were asked. Questions were on Networking and Security. More of a deep dive in OS and Layers from L2 to L7.
