I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Cincinnati, OH)
Interview
The role and job description were for a system administrator, and I answered the system admin questions quit well but didn't get an offer because they were looking for someone that had more cyber hands-on skills which wasn't in the job description. I did have a masters in cybersecurity which was more education than most at this level.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Dayton, OH)
Interview
Teams call interview, they required me to have my camera on but did not turn theirs on which is always kind of rude. They introduced themselves, I introduced myself, then they jumped into a barrage of technical questions. I dont really mind this in and of itself, but I wasn't given any heads up and the interviewers gave no feedback whatsoever on answers and didnt respond to my attempts at turning it more conversational/not as stiff. Perhaps thats my bad, and I shouldn't have tried to do that but ive had technical interviews that were a lot more pleasant in the past.
The process started with a recruiter screen, followed by a technical interview with two engineers, and a final panel with management. It focused on real-world troubleshooting, system design, and how I support end users in secure environments.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked how I would troubleshoot a user unable to access a critical internal application.
One panel phone call with manager and team members asking technical and behavioral questions. Lasts about 30 minutes to an hour. No further interviews, got a call and email with an offer letter about a week later.
