I applied online. I interviewed at SilverSky (Raleigh, NC) in Aug 2025
Interview
Spoke with a recruiter and was asked to complete an hour long TestGorilla assessment. After scoring above 90th percentile on all but 1 category of tests, I was told they went with somebody else without an interview or explanation.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SilverSky (Raleigh, NC) in Jul 2025
Interview
The whole process took place over 1.5 months and consisted of about 7-8 rounds, of which 2 were technical assessments and 2 were technical interviews (rest were HR rounds and casual interviews). One of the technical interviewer went on to ask everything from SOC team to network and cloud architecture to reverse engineering and expected me to take on projects on my own in 3 months. Seemed like a very toxic environment.
