I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Tanium (New York, NY) in Nov 2020
Interview
Initially applied for internship but was asked to interview for ATAM role since I had already graduated. First, phone screen interview with recruiter then interview with hiring manager. If you get moved up you then have an interview with a technical panel, homework assignment, then final interview with 3 TAMS 30 min with each TAM.
I was rejected after the hiring manager interview round. He asked a lot of behavioral questions then went into a discussion about the technical quiz.
My advice, be honest in your interview, if you don’t know the answer to a technical question say so. Also don’t try and fluff up answers to behavioral questions.

Question 1
Phone screen with recruiter:
Where to do I go to see my Ip address?
Technical quiz:
What does this command do: Route add 10.0.... to 192.168.....?
What protocol is on port 22, 23, 25, 20/21?
What is being shown in this windows picture here? ( might show you the different tasks being run or the processes;)
Hiring manager:
Tell me about you failed and how did you move on?
Why cybersecurity?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tanium (Emeryville, CA)
Interview
Lengthy and difficult but very fun. I particularly enjoyed the hypothetical troubleshooting scenarios and the 3-person tech panel. White it was tough, it was one of the most enjoyable and interesting interview processes I've been through in my career.

A slew of probing technical questions centered around experiences and proficiencies which I'd listed on my resume.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Tanium
Interview
Around 6-7 interviews with different people (HR, Tech, Sales, Mgmt,) Very good experience overall, nice people, interesting discussions. Advise: prepare as much as you can the tech panel interview (most important one).
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Tanium
Interview
Don’t waste your time. They will push you along the interview process which is 9 rounds and even if you are doing well, will reject you for no apparent reason. During the interview process nobody is there to guide you and if you try to contact the recruiter they will ghost you. They will not offer you feedback after pouring close to 60 hours of time, and the management is condescending. For some reason the interviews felt like they were a witch-hunt, quizzing you till you fail.
