I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Palo Alto, CA) in Mar 2020
Interview
The interview was in different stages. First the recruiter, 2nd Technical Personnel, 3rd Hiring Manager. The Recruiter was amazing, loved my resume and pitched for me. The Technical personnel established connections, which made it less tense for me. However, the Hiring manager barely communicated. I had to stop to ask a question after the interview to feel a sense of connection.

I applied online. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Bengaluru) in Jul 2023
Interview
first round of interview..1 hour .. very basic networking questions were asked (looks like interviewer has very limited networking knowledge).. main questions were automation/writing scripts... all he cares about script syntax (not logic) .. I don't know why such a big tech company chooses such kind of interviewer who doesn't have basic knowledge how to take interview ..
