I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Proofpoint (Argentina, Santander) in Oct 2023
Interview
A HR guy interviews you and tries to convince you the salary is not that bad because working on security is cool. Then a bunch of 3 45 min easy interviews one after the other. Then they ghost you. If you are from Argentina you better find a USD job since they pay in ARS and even for Argentina the salary is incredibly low.
