I had a 20-minute phone interview with the HR person who was very to the point. She didn't bother making any conversation to make me comfortable. During the interview she jump straight to technical questions about port numbers for various ports (i.e. What is port for TCP? ) After this, I got an email 5 days after asking to meet the Manager and TL for the team. Had a video conference with the team after. The video quality with the Manager wasn't the best which was a bummer. They asked security questions right away - no informal discussion, no chit-chat. They started asking about System Admin questions a lot and then jumped to ports and different protocols. I didn't hear back from then since then. Overall very upset to see they had a vacancy for Security Engineer but they kept asking questions related to sysadmin. nothing about security. Makes me wonder about the weird dynamics the team may have.

Recruiter reaches out to have a phone interview -- no mention of any technical related interview. When the interview happens, it starts off with your previous experience and then the recruiter expects you to know every single port number associated with every single protocol as well as every single command. Essentially negates experience and expects book knowledge.
