Abnormal Security OA Experience – Software Engineer II
Last month, I went through the hiring process for the Software Engineer II position at Abnormal Security, and I wanted to share my experience.
Online Assessment (OA)
->The OA was not a typical 1-hour assessment; it was a take-home assignment with a strong focus on security.
->The problem statement was quite open-ended, and completing it took me around 2 days.
I was given 1 week to complete the assignment, and I submitted it within the deadline.
Post Submission
->I sent a follow-up email asking for an update, and shortly after, I received a rejection email with no feedback.
Takeaways
->If you're considering applying to Abnormal Security, be prepared for long take-home assignments with a 1-week deadline.
->Be prepared—you likely won’t get any feedback.
->Do your best! I missed some features in my assignment, which might have affected the decision.
