Colloquio
I had a phone call with the US based manager. It was meant to be video chat but ended up just being a call with audio problems. When asking about those the interviewer casually told me that she was using her airpods while walking doing various other things at the same time, walking around the building among them.
She generally seems uninterested and was barely listening. Simple questions I had about the usually had to ask at least twice due to her audio setup and due to her clearly being preoccupied with other things instead of being actively engaged in the conversation.
The same goes for the feedback process. I had to inquire twice on whether there would be next steps at any point or if the company finds that I am not suitable for the role and have yet to receive a straight answer.
I know someone else who had two interviews for the same role and had the same experience.
Considering the less than minimal effort the company is putting in the process here, perhaps the job was just posted to get some extra CVs on file.
Definitely an experience that leaves an applicant with bad feelings.

Standard questions on the broader category of the role. Clearly not prepared and questions about my current job made apparent that the interviewer had not really read my resume.

Colloquio
Initially HR told that they can offer visa sponsorship and moved me to next technical round of interviews. After 2 round of interviews when the technical panel and the hiring manager was very happy with me as I was exactly in line with their requirement, it was silence for more than 2 weeks with no communication from HR. After couple of follow ups I was told that even though I was good they went ahead with local candidate as they need not worry about the visa sponsorship. When it was made clear in the screening round itslef that I needed visa to work for the company and giving all the interview, response from them is not what I expected.

Diverse team interviewed me for my role. I would say the interview process from start to offer was a great experience. While Palo Alto took almost a month to reach out to me via a phone call for the recruiter call, the entire process that followed took only 2-3 weeks before we finalised the offer.
The Talent Acquisition team took extra care to share the feedback from the interview panel, and took steps to ensure I felt confident with the offer.
Needless to say, I accepted the offer without hesitation. This pleasant interview experience speaks volumes about Palo Alto Networks. I'm excited to start my career here.

Somewhat unprofessional experience from hiring managers and the recruiting team involved. Very low engagement and I asked the majority of questions. Not sure morale is great within this company based on some subtle hints one interviewer offered me during the interview. I oddly felt like she was trying to warn me in a way as a fellow woman of color about the company culture. It left me feeling unsure about continuing on with the process and investing my time.
