The good part about this interview process was that the primary person in contact with me was very friendly and kept the process moving - I didn't have to wait very long between each step of the interview process. The bad part was that the in-person interview was me on one side of the table, 4 or 5 men on the other side asking questions. I don't mind team interviews, but the physical layout made me feel unwelcome.

Entrevista
After I applied, recruiter then email me with a questionnaire that has a list of minimum qualifications to the role. She wanted to verify if I meet the requirements. I completed it and two weeks later, I got an interview. Interview lasted for an hour. I answered 90% of the question correctly (which I’m sure of), but felt the hiring manager and the other interviewer felt somehow about. It appeared like I was beyond their expectation and so they kept on grilling me with every possible questions. As soon as the lead interviewer told me that they had other candidates to interview, I took my mind off from it and recognise prejudice and racial sentiment has set in. The following week, recruiter sent an email to inform me that I wasn’t selected. I asked her and the interviewers to share me any feedback for the future, which they never did (of course they had no obligation to do so), but obvious enough that it’s another simple case of racial sentiment. You only stand a better chance as a Caucasian to interview and get hired in this organisation, other than that you may just be wasting your time.

A lot of questions. First question was the difference between tcp/udp. How the tcp works (three way handshake). Can the tcp cause dos attack? What vulnerabilities are possible with dns. How can you prevent it. How does the dns work? What is Ids/ips? What defence-in-depth strategy will I ensure for protecting a new network system that I’m setting up? How will I identify threats? What Siem tools have I worked with? I mentioned Q radar and how it works. He asked me what sources supplies data to the qradar. Asked me to mention several other tcp and udp protocols that I know, I mentioned like 10 until he asked me to stop. He asked what is zone transfer? What control message is used by the bad guys to attack a system? How do I stay current with current threat models. I should mention some recent threat and cyber attacks that I know and technically talk about them. It lasted for an hour and some minutes.
