      Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 14, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Emeryville, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Tanium (Emeryville, CA) in Feb 2019

      Interview

      The interview process is a bit long and unnecessary. You start with a pre-screen call and if you pass that, you move on to three coding challenges. Each of these are separated by a week, so you are investing at least four weeks into their process. The first few interviews I had were actually very pleasant. The interviewers were very engaging, and the coding challenges were a collaborative effort. I dare say that I actually had fun during this part of the interview process. Feedback was almost immediate, and I kept moving on. Until the last interviewer. When we started our call, there was no pleasantries. He lead with "I was instructed to give you a coding challenge, so I guess that's what we are doing." He also stated that he wanted 10 minutes afterward to talk, so I cut things short so we could chat after. During the challenge, however, it was not like the other two at all. He clearly did not want to be there, and responded to any attempts at conversation or questions with terse remarks or something like "google it". When we got to the last 10 minutes, we ended up talking for about 2 before he concluded the interview. Even then, it was me mostly asking questions and he wasn't asking me anything. After this, it took over a week to get a response from them (when before I had a response within 24 hours). Finally, It was a simple "we decided not to continue." -- but why? I aced two of the challenges and got through 95% of the third. I guess that 5% mattered a lot more than I thought. Bottom line, while their product is very interesting and it seems like a great place to work, don't waste your time with their interview process. At the very least, if you do, keep talking to other companies while you wait.

      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.

      Interview

      Generally very nice and friendly staff. Very bad communication. Did really well in the interviews and enjoyed interviewing with the engineers, however, got ghosted after the final technical interview, even didn't get any replies after emailing my recruiters.
