I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualys in Jan 2024
Interview
Interview process is very intense (five separate interviews) ranging from a panel interview to a final presentation to members of sales leadership - and may even include CEO. A lot of prep time required.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
To present a case study summarizing a problem that you helped a client solve - demonstrating sales acumen and information security knowledge
It was a complicated process, had to go through 7 interviews and presentations.
the first part is a generic HR interview, then a deep technical interview then a presentation then a sales interview then c-level interview.

Question 1
Present and demonstrate one of Qualys solutions as you are selling it to a customer.
Had a great phone call with a recruiter, who set me up with a manager interview via Zoom. The manager interviewing me on Zoom was late, and didn't leave adequate time for me to ask questions. Manager spent more time telling me about his background than asking about my work experience, and it didn't seem like he looked at my resume beforehand. I could've communicated some of my answers more clearly, but felt pressured for time and didn't think it would be worth it to reiterate information I had already told them earlier in the interview and was included on my resume.
They ghosted me after this interview, despite my multiple attempts asking for feedback/next steps in thank you notes. Interview experience was not great, and it didn't feel like a worthwhile conversation.
I applied online. I interviewed at Qualys (Charlotte, NC) in May 2024
Interview
Initial interview with the hiring manager, and then an interview with 6 people from the team all at once. No contact from them after the second interview. Not too difficult but unusual.
