I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Santa Clara, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
The onsite interview are talking with couple engineers and manager working for the management team, the questions are some basic ones about have you ever use this API or system calls before, or what's the concept of the multiple thread. The overall feeling is not that friendly, and the company is like a traditional security company.

Telling about myself and asking questions to an interviewer, telling about the job I worked at recently.
In addition, there were coding and architecture questions.
Overall the interview was average, the people were nice and it was a good experience.
An easy tech interview starting with a friendly chat, simple coding questions, and clear expectations. The interviewer guides you, values problem solving, and focuses on understanding rather than trick questions.
