I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Optiv
Interview
The first interview I had was a digital interview. I was asked about 20 questions and you have about 30 seconds (per question) to record your responses. My second interview was a traditional face-to-face interview. I was asked more in-depth industry questions (compared to the first interview) and also given a "pop quiz" in a sense, towards the end. After the second interview (about 1-2 weeks later), I received a call and was given an offer.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Optiv in Jan 2013
Interview
If you know little bit of Linux and have your networking basics. It's easy to get a job here in this position. 2 phases of interview. One by HR and one technical from the management.
