Hi all,
I'm trying to get a job with Palo Alto Networks but for some reason I find it hard to even get a screening call from them. I've been an SE for 8 years now and have extensive Palo experience. I'm starting to think I'm on a black list or something.
Any help appreciated.

Palo Alto has a great product set but awful sales management.
Be careful what you wish for.
Try to talk to people who actually work there, to investigate their culture.
When they purge the sales team, when numbers are done, they also purge the SEs working with these salespeople.

Do you know why you wanna work there? List the reasons here and I can help you understand what is in the way.

Tbh the biggest motivation is that I have been monitoring Palo raise to grateness since the beginning and actually took part in this just way as partner SE. Now after 8 years I feel like I'm skilled enough to join them. To me it feels like Palo could be my last job. They are so big that scope for growth and development is huge.
Also, since I feel like I'm an extension of the team I might as well work at the source.

There are no rules dude. Following established recruitment procedure will sometimes get you nowhere. Try to find a manager on LinkedIn for the relevant region/role and approach directly. If you’re lucky, and position yourself correctly, you might get some help. If not, you’ve lost nothing.

I referred someone I truly see potential in and have also helped him with resume and casing. And he didn't even get invited for an interview. He stayed optimistic and passionate about the job, and asked me again for advice about reapplying this year. I don't know what to advice him. His resume looks good but didn't even get a chance for interview

So had my first interview in one of the big 4 but it got me completely off guard. First one was call screening and then a technical interview. Now what I didn’t expect is rather than technicalities they focused on the consulting a lot more. Now the role that was marketed was technical/Architect and they even said that in current capacity you’ll work here as a technical person. I don’t think it went well. Coming from a technical background I was hoping for coding .
Is it always like this?
