I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tanium in May 2026
Interview
I was initially contacted by the recruiter who then set up two technical interviews over two different days. However, these kept getting rescheduled with different interviewers which made it difficult to find time for them.
The two technical interviews involved leetcode style problems that also required further optimization. Afterwards, we would discuss the solution, further enhancements, and other topics. My first technical interview was more collaborative and enjoyable, but my second was a bit restrictive as I kept getting interrupted as I tried to explain my thoughts which made it harder to work through the problem.
I had a ton of difficulty trying to get responses from my recruiter partners and in most cases did not get responses about the process, my status, or the results.
Lastly, the position was closed without notice after I interviewed, so I am not sure why the position was open in the first place.

I applied online. I interviewed at Tanium in Mar 2026
Interview
I had a recruiter call to discuss background and potential fit, followed by a 30 minute hiring manager interview, then was scheduled for 2 technical interviews that eventually got cancelled because the role was filled. The process was very disorganized from start to finish.
2 behavioral interviews, followed by a couple of technical interviews. Technical interviews were LC style questions. Need to prepare some project anecdotes and reasons why you want to work there for the behaviorals.
