I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tanium (Emeryville, CA) in Jul 2019
Interview
One 30-minute phone call with Tanium's internal recruiter, one 30-minute interview via Zoom, three 1-hour technical interviews (coding challenges) via Zoom, and traveled to Tanium HQ for ~4 hours of in-person interviews. The in-office portion involved 5 separate blocks of time ranging from 30-60 minutes with 5 individuals (senior engineers, SVP engineering, etc.). The first session involved a whiteboard pseudo-coding problem, and the others were conversational with a significant amount of time for me to ask any questions I had. Lunch was also served, allowing me to meet various other engineers at the company while participating in the company culture hands-on.

Interview
I received a quick response based on my resume for an interview. The technical pre-screen was five very simple questions which I’m sure I answered correctly. The day after I received some canned response that I answered some of the questions incorrectly and they would not proceed. I believe it was due to my initial responses to commuting to the 2nd most crime ridden city in California 3x a week. Lucky for Mrs Midwest she’s grandfathered in to remote work. I would not have accepted if offered regardless, salary and benefits are well below market.

Interview
Call with recruiter (7/8), which went well, got an email with next steps, I replied. Silence. I replied again on 7/14. Silence. Come 7/26 I get an email saying the position had been filled. So nice to be ghosted after such a positive phone call.

Interview
The interview and offer process was quick. There were three pretty informal behavioral interviews, a system design interview, and a basic technical question that could be extended.
Everyone was quite friendly and willing to answer questions. The interviews with director and VP showed they were pretty technical which was fantastic!
The recruiters seemed very busy because I was interacting with three people. They couldn't match another offer I had and seemed to have little wiggle room with comp/title/perks like WFH.
