Application
InterviewI applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NortonLifeLock in Apr 2022
The process I had was 1 initial phone screen, 1 phone call with the manager and then 3 separate zoom calls with the team, hiring manager again and then the VP of the department. I was also asked to prepare and present a work sample. I didn’t make it past the final 3 zoom calls but was given an indication that the process is actually even longer than what I went through and could have potentially included a few more zoom calls with other team stakeholders before getting to the offer stage. Everyone I spoke to was great, asked good questions and answered my questions in detail. The team was friendly and experienced and asked some tough questions which really shows they care about who they hire into this role. I got the sense that I would have really enjoyed working on this team. Ultimately, I was rejected due to something that was clear on my resume and was mentioned in both initial phone calls. So, it’s kind of disappointing to have to go through all those extra interviews when they likely already knew I didn’t meet that one criteria that was important to them. But all in all it was a good experience. The rejection came in the form of a personal phone call from the recruiter who originally found me on LinkedIn and I really appreciated the effort she took to personally reach out to me to deliver the news and provide feedback on why they decided to go a different direction. I would definitely consider interviewing for future roles at Norton based on the positive impression I got this time around.

InterviewI applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at NortonLifeLock in Feb 2022
I was initially invited to have a phone interview. However, after submitting dates and times that I would be available to interview, they sent me back an email stating that they decided to go with other candidates. Unsure what happened there but they could have asked for alternative times to interview if the times I picked didn’t work for them.
Interview Questions
- I wasn’t asked any questions because they canceled my interview after they asked me which times and dates I was available to interview.

InterviewI interviewed at NortonLifeLock in Oct 2021
Applied for a Marketing role and received a call back fairly soon from the recruiting manager telling me the position already has been filled. However, she was very friendly and suggested to take a look at a different role. We arranged an interview with the hiring manager and it turned out it was not a good match with my skillset. All in all, I wish I had a chance to get an interview for the role I initially applied for but I appreciated the help from the recruiting manager to find an alternative and the opportunity to speak to the hiring manager.

Very thorough process. The HR recruitment specialist specialises in tech roles, and could see the synergy between my experience and the crux of the role. Not all HR people are this perceptive. She also saw the process through from start to finish, kept me updated, and I met with five people during the interview process to scope out the role and ensure I had the right skills.
Interview Questions
- Questions were very focused on the skills needed - working internationally, planning and managing teams and being adaptable. Also a question around your understanding of cyber security and its importance in the lives of people around the world.
