I applied online. I interviewed at Security Innovation (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview was conducted in a highly thorough and structured manner. I would strongly recommend dedicating time to revisiting foundational concepts in operating systems and computer networking, as well as practicing introductory algorithm and data structure problems commonly found on platforms like LeetCode

Interview
I applied and was invited to their penetration testing skills assessment site, then upon completing it, a more comprehensive cyber range. My score was satisfactory and I was invited to a do series of zoom interviews on programming, different security domain skills, and culture fit. I appreciated that they had skills tests up front instead of relying on my resume going through some black box matching algorithm, and everyone I spoke to was very friendly. This seems like a strongly positive place to work. When I was rejected, they gave me helpful feedback on what I could improve, which is very valuable to me as someone trying to enter this field.
