I applied online. I interviewed at Matasano Security
Interview
The entire process took around 5 weeks.
I applied through their careers website. I had an inital phone screening where the person sopke about the company and the roles i need to perform as an intern. then he asked me few technical questions to test my knowledge on web security. Then he gave a website and asked to do a pen test and write a report for the same. They scheduled two phone interviews in a gap of one week.
Both the persons asked questoins completely on web security and software security. The first interview lasted for an hours time and second was over by 30 min. The first person gave a scneario and asked entire questions from it. At last they never responded back even after repeated emails
