Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Normal selection via resume for Test. Being a Mathematics student, my resume was a bit "academic".
Tips: Be thorough with your resume. I had a more "academic" resume. So was asked at 95% of the interviews "Why are you here, you should go for PhD". High CPI is not required for job, but a respectable one is required.

Round: Test
Experience: This test was mainly to check your linux skills, as the Job profile required a skilled linux guy with scripting ability. It had 2 sections, one was with normal questions and one with slightly difficult. It had questions about flags in different shell commands.
Tips: Be good with linux. I am Ubuntu user, so I was good with shell and scripting. If you are a windows user, I would highly recommend to install cygwin and practice linux scripting.
Duration: 60mins minutes
Total Questions: 50

Round: Test
Experience: Speed Math was easy for me, but was stuck with few apti questions. Practice them. Cannot say anything about personality test. Just be yourself.

Experience: Interviewer was fun. At the end we were discussing which beer brand is the best. (He was from UK)

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: He was fun, he made me real comfy and I was able to think clearly while answering. He was laughing when I was answering how to root server. He said he wasn't expecting a math student to answer this question. I also told about my experience in online CTF and that I am a metasploit fan.
Tips: Interest in network security is a plus.

Skill Tips: Interest in network security and constant learning
Skills: Common Sense, Network Security, GNU/LINUX
College Name: IIT Bombay
