NPI Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
After two phone interviews (recruiter, hiring manager), the on-site interview was with 7 team members. All very well organized and welcoming.
All interviewers were nice people, asked thoughtful questions, and seemed to genuinely care about my values. Many of my interviewers were effusive about the leadership, culture, and reputation for developing employees, but none could offer many specifics.
I made it pretty clear to the hiring manager I wanted to develop within and from that role, and I think my honesty (for the better) resulted in a no-offer.

Employee feedback sessions and skip levels are a way to give top-down feedback to employees. Recruiting talent and executives at PANW is equivalent to bringing your buddies from Cisco and HP and kicking out the old guys. Fast-paced and agile at PANW is equivalent to chasing all shiny objects without priority and direction. Delivering beautified slides overrules anything, including a quality product.
