Entrevista
After an initial 30min phone screen, I was invited to a 4-5 hour long interview, consisting of 5 one on one sessions, each lasting around 45 to 60 minutes. Questions touched areas of previous work experience, "social" things ("what are your hobbies"), as well as deeper technical knowledge. I was also given two "problem solving skills" questions.
Overall, it appears they do expect good technical background.
On the negative side, no one offered a drink, not even water during the whole 4 hour+ sessions. More importantly, I was supposed to receive an answer from HR within a few days, but never did. Even after more than two months and after contacting them a few times via email and phone, no final word from SecureWorks.
This leads me to believe that they interview for positions that do not actually exist, just to find good candidates to add to their database for later.

Initial video call. Then a take home. As I (as well as others) use multiple Github accounts (Github and local), it was assumed that I cheated on the take home assignment. A red flag. If a prospective employer cannot afford you the basic assumptions (honesty and integrity) how are you supposed to reciprocate that in return. It was automatically assumed that I had plagiarized rather than ask why the scenario existed in the first place (Two authors. One from editing the readme on Github and one from my local config). Shows the company doesn't trust.
Hope this sheds light into not only the interview process, but the company as a whole.

I was referred by a current intern. Interviewed within a couple of days. The interview consisted of 15-30 minutes of behavioral questions, followed by 30-45 minutes technical questions. I think a referral goes a long way for this one. I received the acceptance letter a few days later.
The behavioral interview was more like a conversation between myself and the recruiter. I guess he wanted to make sure I wasn't a socially inept robot and could articulate my thoughts.
The technical question was in front of the recruiter, one of the team manager, and one of the team leaders. The interview was given by the team leader that I would later work at.

There were nothing extremely difficult. They asked basic Java concepts (because I told them that was my most experience language). There were a few basic algorithm problems as well, such as sorts, and a database question that involved being given a scenario and was asked to design a database schema accordingly.
