I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Forescout Technologies (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
The interview lasted for approax 5 hours. They didn’t have the courtesy to offer lunch during the process. The interview questions were very easy. The VP spent less than his alloted time in the interview. I did not hear back from them. I don’t think I could have done those interviews any better because I answered almost all the questions. I say almost because only the last few qs I took a little hint in the last interview. All the other interviews was straightforward coding of optimal
Solutions and alternate solutions on the board. Most questions were on algorithms and data structures. I am really really amazed that they did not get back to me as I have not given a better performance even in my current job’s interview. That makes me think of this is a sham of an interview and they already had someone internal to hire or recruit. Especially when the VP left 15 mins early and did not look very interested. I wouldn’t suggest interviewing here if you are seriously looking as they might be wasting your time in fake interviews. There is no other way to explain the outcome of this interview. They do not even bother to inform you if you got a reject.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Forescout Technologies (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Interview
I received a computer and coded a problem they gave me. Remember that uncomfortable feeling when in high school you took an exam, and the teacher walks up and stares at your paper? it was like that the entire interview. The interviewer started at my computer and watched my code, and didn't say anything. I felt highly uncomfortable and creeped out. I would much rather have an interview on a whiteboard - which is more collaborative; or coding and later being reviewed.. rather than someone silently glaring at you and every single word you code.
In the end, he felt I didn't have enough experience, and it was something he could have known if he looked at my cv before, or asked me in the phone interview.
The entire process was disappointing, add to that the creepy feeling all along.
My advice, if you come over for an interview, make sure they read your CV so you won't waste your time.
