      Senior Offensive Security Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kyndryl (Budapest) in May 2024

      Interview

      The interview took place with the head of red teaming. The person clearly couldnt give less heck about what the person had to say, he was reading a premade script, but cared NOTHING about the answers, made zero eyecontact during I was talking. When the answer was half correct he would laugh and patronizingly ask whether "ah so that is all?" ... I have had plenty of interviews in my life I can firmly say this was the absolute worst. I stepped back from the entire application as regardless the salary, benefits etc, I would never ever work for a person like this. Also worth to note, that the position was for an offensive security professional, and all he asked was networking questions??? An offsec tester absolutely should understand networking that isn't contested, however to the depth the questions were asked those would have been more suitable for a network engineer...

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Describe how DNS works once you enter a webpage to the browser, the entire process from beginning to end as of how DNS works. They provided 20 (??!!!) minutes for this answer. If you finished in 4-5 (more than enough to explain the workings of DNS, the interviewer would laugh and say "was that all, you have 20 minutes"?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Answer question
