I applied online. I interviewed at Tenable (Columbia, MD) in Mar 2026
Interview
First, there is a behavioral interview with a hiring manager. Next, two technical interviews with pseudo coding. Finally, one system design. The interview is conversational. Emphasis is placed on your reasoning and not necessarily compilable code.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical: 1) Cache question. 2) Traverse file in batches.
System Design: notification system
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tenable in Jun 2025
Interview
The hiring process consisted of three main stages:
Initial phone screening with HR.
Manager interview: Deep dive into my resume/background and discussion about the project/role.
Technical interview: A live coding session to test practical skills. Overall, a straightforward process.
In an online interview, the shortest path graph question was unclear.
Also the SQL task was unsolvable.
The time given was too short.
The interviewer ignored my solution, and had poor communication.
