I applied online. I interviewed at Tenable

Interview

Interviewer was a no-show. Called and emailed, no answer. Left after waiting for 30 mins. HR recruiter called afterwards to reschedule the interview for 2 days later, only to call back the next day to cancel the interview. It was a complete waste of my time and effort applying and preparing for the interview when the recruitment process is messy and they don’t respect candidates time.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tenable in Mar 2023

Interview

I recently had an interview with a panel of six people, but unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired. I was bombarded with a slew of inane and irrelevant questions that left me feeling like my time was being wasted. And to add insult to injury, I never received any follow-up or feedback after the interview. It's disappointing to invest so much time and energy into an opportunity only to be left in the dark afterwards. But at least I can take solace in the fact that I gave it my all and showed up prepared and ready to impress. Onward and upward!

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Tenable

Interview

While I appreciate the opportunity to apply for the a Customer Success related role, I was disappointed with the overall experience. Firstly, the communication from the recruitment team was inadequate and unprofessional. It took several months to receive any updates on the status of the interviews, and when I did, the responses were often generic and lacked any personalization. Additionally, I was left waiting for a considerable amount of time during the interview process without any explanation or apology. I found this particularly disappointing, as I had taken the time to research the company and prepare for the interview. Overall, I was left with a poor impression of the recruitment process and would hesitate to recommend the organization to anyone seeking employment. I hope that in the future, the recruitment team will take a more professional and courteous approach to engaging with candidates.

Really well meaning recruiters and engineers. They wanted casual conversations, as they were not catching for a wrong answer or anything. They were observant on how the applicant thinks and how they form and come up with a solution.

I applied online. I interviewed at Tenable in Feb 2023

Interview

Terrible experience with the recruiter. Applied for the role, recruiter got back to me asking some follow up questions and did not even bother to reply back as to whether I am shortlisted further. To make it worse, this same recruiter sent me a linkedin mail to say that I am a good fit for the role. I responded back to the message saying that I already applied for the role, provided the information requested back and there was no response. As expected, this recruiter did not respond back. It leaves such a bad taste in the whole recruitment experience. If I am ever a decision maker when it comes to using their products, I would think twice about engaging them as a vendor.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tenable in Feb 2023

Interview

1. 30 minute phone call with their in-house recruiter. 2. 60 minute phone call with the hiring manager. 3. 60 minute phone call with the team you would be joining. After going through their process and getting positive feedback all along the way, I was completely ghosted. I guess they have so many developers looking to join their company that they can afford to treat people this way. If you are on a tight deadline, avoid them - they will waste your time.

I interviewed at Tenable (Mumbai) in Jan 2023

Interview

6 interviews over 2.5months. After being assured in the 5th interview that I have gotten the role, I receive a call for the HR TA to ask if we can set up a 6th call with the hiring manager. On the call I am informed that they have decided to go ahead with an internal reference. What’s even better is the HR TA will call at the 11th hour to schedule a meeting early next day and wherever you try and call them they never seem to answer… I certainly thought very highly of Tenable but after this interesting experience I wish those that join the best of luck.

Interview

Terrible experience with the recruiter. Poor communication skills sum it up. Even though I was advancing to the next rounds, my impression of the company was tarnished by her interactions. She was short, abrasive and unhelpful. I thought recruiters were supposed to be advocates for their candidates?!
