Typical interview loop

How Palo Alto Networks usually runs it for applied AI and LLM engineer roles.

  1. Recruiter call

    Focus: Background, motivation

    A 20-30 minute call on your background, the role, pay expectations and why you're interested.

  2. Online coding test

    Focus: DSA under time

    A timed test on a platform such as HackerRank or Codility with a few data-structure problems, sometimes with multiple-choice questions added.

  3. Hiring manager round

    Focus: Projects, values fit

    A conversation about your past projects and experience, checked against the company's values; some candidates meet the manager before the technical rounds.

  4. Technical rounds

    Focus: Coding, system design

    One to three hour-long live rounds, sometimes back to back, mixing medium coding problems with system design for mid-level and senior candidates.
