Process
Very interactive. I loved the conversations and there was a lot of back and forth.
They asked a lot of app security questions and about my experience. Some questions were very specific and scenario-based.
There was one coding challenge and one secure code review. Both were medium/difficult, and I got feedback instantly on what was correct and what else could have been added.
But I was ghosted! I thought I really nailed the interview.
Questions
Secure code review: Showed a piece of code and asked about possible exploits.
