      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Proofpoint (Sunnyvale, CA) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      Interview 3 rounds. Has phone screening, full 1 day interview then interview a few VP's. The interviewers are nice and respectful. At the end, never heard back from the recruiter on the end result. Quite rude.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Quite normal managerial questions. Nothing out of line.
