The interview went great. They dove into tech a lot deeper than the job description listed such as Admin on Linux, Python Scripting, etc. Thought I did a great job. Found out they went with an internal hire that had a year experience in desktop support with no cybersecurity experience.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Leidos (Washington, DC) in Apr 2025
Interview
Interview was conducted onsite with the Program Manager and a Senior Project Manager. The approach was much more relaxed than some of my previous interviews and they made me feel at ease.
