      Software Engineer Interview

      Apr 11, 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Santa Clara, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Santa Clara, CA) in Feb 2019

      Interview

      Had two phone screenings and one onsite. Phone call interviews went great in my opinion, found out within a couple of days that I was invited to onsite. On-site interview went great but then I never heard back from HR if I got a job or not. What was ridiculous was that I found out that I wasn't hired because the status on the jobvite was changed to Not Selected. Horrible on PANW's part because they should have the decency to inform me via phone call or email after the onsite whether or not I got the job rather than having to discover that myself when I randomly checked my application status online. Had a great experience right up until after the onsite interview. Probably will not apply to this company again simply because of this experience.
