Interview
Quick and easy, not a lot of technical questions. Just want to make sure you can travel. Better to have hands on knowledge of software and hardware because they will not train you. So, figure it out on your own.

Recruiter call
Technical interview
Present an already done penetration test report to the Director and fellow security consultant.
I made it to the final round. The expectations/ objectives of the pen test presentation were not clear going into the interview. Didn’t get a great feeling about the leadership. Crashed and burned during the presentation. Was offered a second chance to present a report that Ive written, but declined. Didn’t feel like the right environment.
