I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Threat X in Oct 2020
Interview
- Initial video call with the hiring manager. Not a very technical interview, mostly a personality screen.
- Video call with another manager. Slightly more technical, still very much a personality screen.
- Video call with the CEO. Fairly technical.
- Video call with the CTO. Mostly a culture/personality screen.
The process seemed fairly disorganized. I had to repeatedly follow up with them and ask what the next steps were and where my application was. In the end, after four interviews, including two with C-level executives, they ghosted me. No idea what went wrong, as I was feeling very confident after having been through four rounds of interviews.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Threat X in Oct 2021
Interview
Threat X interview process was really great. It was multiple rounds probably totaling 6-8 hours and I got a chance to meet a good chunk of the engineers and leadership. I know the market is hot right now but I have a hard time making a decision after a single sixty minute interview which caused me to turn down a lot of offers in the few months I’d been looking prior. It was a 2 way street throughout and my view of them continually improved as we went farther along.

Question 1
They offered a demo project which worked really well I thought. I appreciated that this came after a tech interview and felt like my time was respected.
