J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Palo Alto Networks (Santa Clara, CA) en juin 2017
Entretien
I had applied for this position online some time ago. A few weeks later company recruiter called to set up a phone interview with one of their developers. The interviewer didn't call on time, so I had to wait around. During the interview he asked what I would prefer to do? Bug fixing or development? I stated that I prefer to do development although I didn't say I was averse to bug-fixing because it is part of a SW developer. The interviewer then said that they were looking for a quick learner, someone to fix bugs. That came off as a little weird. Another thing that was weird was that after each answer, there was a long silence. I wanted to ask, "Are you there, sir?".

2nd round was with 2 engineers, this was a problem-solving round. Given a piece of code, how to improve it (multi-thread again). Only need to write sudo code.
3nd round was with 2 engineers again, a system design round. Not a typical system design problem, more like a real problem in the work.
There was a conversation with HR, and then I was scheduled for an interview with a team leader about my technology stack. According to the stack, he asked me deeper questions to check my understanding. The next interview consisted of a technical question, posed as a LeetCode problem, and a coding question.
