I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at CyberArk (Sofia, Sofia (city)) in Dec 2025
Interview
The process included a couple of technical interviews online and a "cultural" interview that was on site. They also requested references of people I've worked with. The difficulty of the interviews was okay for me, but it included testing skills in several different domains, which may be difficult for people with more targeted skill sets. The cultural interview focused on soft skills and past experience.
