I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Darktrace (Cambridge, England) in Sept 2024
Interview
Very friendly and helpful. One of the few interviews I have completed where I felt really comfortable all the way through and felt like I was being taken seriously. Other companies I have interviewed at made it feel like they didn't want to be there, this was not the case at DarkTrace.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is my previous experience with software and cyber security
The interview focused on purely technical topics, covering arrays, linked lists, stacks, hash maps, string reversal, and complexity analysis, and the remote format made the overall experience smooth and enjoyable.
