I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tenable (Columbia, MD) in Jan 2014
Interview
You start by submitting a resume for one of their openings. They check your resume against that opening and other appropriate openings. A recruiter schedules a call with you to get some basic information. Then they send you a basic test for the skills required for the job. It's less about right and wrong and more about how you approach the questions. If you pass that, a call with the manager for the position is scheduled, where they will ask more specific questions. After that, they decide whether or not to hire you.

Question 1
They asked how I handle difficult issues that seem like a brick wall.
Typical Interview with 2 questions, one of them being quite difficult and unique
Then was given a home task, which I was given a weekend to do, and was then reviewed on,
Had their recruiter reached out to me almost immediately after i applied in setting up an initial call, I responded back but however, took the recruiter about a week to eventually get back to me, stating he was away unexpectedly.
Finally I had the screen call with the recruiter and he did not tell much about anything related to the company or the position, I basically had to pry him out of the standard information normally given by the recruiter in these interviews. Instead of telling me about the position, basically he wanted me to look the job posting again and let him know if i have any questions and that was basically the bulk of the interview. He also did not tell me anything of what the next step is. Not surprisingly, never heard back from him again.
It seems quite lazy of the recruiter, and it didn't seem like he even gave an effort in seriously conducting the call.
I'm not really sure why they even decide to do the call in the first place but i'm guessing maybe there was a certain quota of calls to reach by him.

Interview
The interview process was fine but they just stop responding to me. I did an interview and it went well. I met the team and that went well. There was supposed to be follow up but I never received any. They didn't even say we're no longer interested.
