I applied online. I interviewed at Tanium (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Started with a phone screen and then calls with the teams that you will be working with. All steps are normal and staff is great but HR seems like a mess. I had red flags from the second call with HR as it seems like they are flustered and looking to not have to book travel to get you onsite.
Be careful with HR and have them book travel as they may not reimburse for your costs. Not smart for an info sec shop to let folks on site and then be so rude as to not reimburse for costs (just saying). Low class as you will see in other posts.

Question 1
breakdown your resume to this point. Tell me about your professional career to this point and why it's beneficial to this organization
3 interviews with different TAM's. Initial phone screen with recruiter as well. I love how they had actual TAM's interviewing because they gave a lot of insight and info on the role/intern program during the interviews.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tanium (Denver, CO) in Nov 2019
Interview
The process is extensive, including multiple phone screenings and homework assignments involving troubleshooting and configuring the product. The people I engaged with were courteous and professional. As a result of the homework assignments. I felt comfortable that the technology works. Unfortunately, because the process was so lengthy (over 2 months, 3 homework assignments and 6 phone screenings) I received 2 other offer letters before Tanium personnel could approve/authorize another body. But overall, it was a good experience with good people- just not exactly "expeditious". Were it just a bit faster, they would have had me because I was treated so well and the tech actually works.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Tanium in Sep 2016
Interview
Interview was choppy and unprofessional. Initail screener was in the car and traveling, parking while talking with me. Was distracted and not focused on task at hand. Slow to respond and was not upfront with the decision tree. When a technical panel was finally scheduled there was no guidence on how to proceed.
