I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Forcepoint in Jul 2017
Interview
An external recruiter contacted me for a position that recently opened within the company and setup a phone interview with the software development manager. Conversation was casual, no technical questions. Final interview, which was face to face, involved talking with the hiring manager about company history, products, future goals, etc. Then, I was escorted to another room for a one to one interview with the principal engineer (architect). I was asked about my background, experiences, tools, etc. and then proceeded to give the pair programming challenge.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Forcepoint (Mumbai) in Jul 2023
Interview
The interview started with the obvious question to introduce myself. Then the interviewer asked about my technical strengths and proceeded to ask questions on OOPs in Java, Normal forms in DBMS and the OSI Model in Computer Networks. She then gave me a question to solve. I coded the brute-force approach and gave her an optimized one but I could not code it due to time constraints. In the second technical round, it was more about my resume and questions related to the same.
