      Security Engineer Interview

      Oct 2, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA)

      Interview

      The interview process is very simple. You will get a phone screen with a recruiter first who was very nice and helpful then I had an 30 minute Phone interview with the hiring manager for the security team. The interview consists of a few technical question and about you questions. The hiring manager for the team was very self observant and spend a third of the interview talk about himself specifically his academic background. I think that is the reason for why they still have yet to fill any of there security positions

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Talk about XSS? What is WAF and how should it be implemented? Why would you use Metasploit?
