I applied online. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks
Interview
Coding Assessment --> Short behavioral interview --> Three back to back technical interviews (Coding, Debugging, System Design). I did the morning session which was from 9am-12:30pm, you have a 15 min break in between. Once you create your implementation, expect the interviewer to give you new requirements where you have to adjust your current code.

Then a call with a recruiter who asked basic tell me about yourself, etc.... Now onto final round. Recruiter explained it would be around 3 hours. 45 minutes with 3 different people and 15 min breaks. All technical and behavioral mixed in.

I initially went through the screening process, which went quite smoothly, mostly asked behavioral questions, and things about how I handle myself in the workplace. The recruiter also broke down how the next round would go and let me know immediately if I made it through to the next round or not.
