SonicWALL

The process started professionally, and the interviewers were courteous. However, I found the interview experience somewhat confusing due to a mismatch in expectations around the coding round. The interview was scheduled as a 90-minute session, but during the live coding exercise I was informed that only about 10 minutes remained after roughly 30 minutes had passed. This created uncertainty around time management and expectations for the exercise. The coding challenge involved building a React application (Tic-Tac-Toe). While the problem itself was reasonable, I would have appreciated clearer communication regarding the amount of time allocated specifically for the coding portion. During the live coding exercise, I was frequently asked to explain my thought process while coding. While I understand the intent was to evaluate communication and problem-solving, I personally found the frequency of interruptions made it difficult to maintain focus and momentum during implementation. Candidates who prefer to first implement a solution and then explain their approach may find this interview style challenging.

I went through four rounds of interviews with SonicWall. The first three rounds, including the hiring manager round, went very well and I received positive feedback. The discussions were mainly focused on C programming, networking, and operating system concepts, and I felt the process until that stage was fair and technical. However, my experience in the fourth round with the VP was disappointing. From the beginning of the conversation, the tone felt somewhat dismissive despite answering the networking questions correctly. I felt that my responses were often challenged in a way that seemed intended to undermine rather than evaluate my understanding. Additionally, I was asked a personal question about my marital status and was told that since I am single, I should have more time to learn things. I found this question unrelated to the role and somewhat inappropriate in a professional interview setting. Given that I had successfully cleared the previous rounds and had positive feedback from the hiring manager, the tone of the final round was unexpected and uncomfortable. The experience left me feeling that the interview process lacked consistency at the leadership level. I believe interview processes should remain professional, role-focused, and respectful for all candidates.

There three rounds of Interview with Senior Tech members and VP. First round covers top level descussion about your profile, last projects, your skills and then few question about system design, architecture, coding, debugging. Second rount is like deep dive into the domain knowladge, data structures and codding. Third round is like deep dive in system design and architecture.

First is hr and then technical interview after that manager round and then hr round they asked very hard questions which are related to programming but cyber security related projects not required more programing they not ask more in networking

Interview process is worst Their expectations are very high Its really time waste for us, even after answering all the questions they won't select I have answered all of the questions but still they didn't consider my profile
