I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks
Interview
HR was organized. Fast response and followup. I passed phone and first round onsite because I was interviewed by the team that was hiring. I was asked based on the job description and CV. Second round was going south because I was interviewed by other teams which totally different than the jobs description and my experience.

Interview
The HR & Hiring Manager from Palo Alto for this position ghosted me after the initial round, no contact otherwise.
I received a reject email after a few weeks with typical corporate lingo.
First Round - Managerial
I was informed that, i can expect a little bit of technical as well.
I was prepared with System design and my own projects.
But guess what happened...
Questions are like :
How arrays store elements in memory?
How memory is allocated and what's the reason behind 0(1) complexity for indexed based search in arrays?
What is a bit ? What values can it store?
Grow up guys - i felt i should break out of the interview in the middle but still continued patiently.
Waste of time.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Bengaluru) in May 2021
Interview
First round was online coding test, second round is algorithms and third was manager round. In the third round i was interviewed by a rude guy who was not interested to listen to what i was saying. He was yawning all the time. At the end he will ask what was the challenge in this. I don't see any challenge. I did not like his attitude and cut the call in the middle. I felt what is the point clearing this interview and working along with such negative people.
