J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Tanium
Entretien
I was contacted by a recruiter of the company, had a screening interview with questions mostly about my professional background, though my resume contains all the answers about technologies and projects i was working with, including periods of time. Some behavioral questions.
Then a second interview, probably with hiring manager. All the same questions again. No technical questions at all. I got an impression, the guy didn't even saw my resume before the interview.
Got rejected because of "background isn’t quite the fit we’re looking for". Really ? They could not start from reading my resume to make this decision without spending my and their time on two interviews ? Sometimes i don't understand, for whom, we, engineers, are writing all these resumes, cover letters. Probably if i'll replace the text with auto-generated "Lorem Ipsum", nobody going to notice any difference.

I received a quick response based on my resume for an interview. The technical pre-screen was five very simple questions which I’m sure I answered correctly. The day after I received some canned response that I answered some of the questions incorrectly and they would not proceed. I believe it was due to my initial responses to commuting to the 2nd most crime ridden city in California 3x a week. Lucky for Mrs Midwest she’s grandfathered in to remote work. I would not have accepted if offered regardless, salary and benefits are well below market.

Call with recruiter (7/8), which went well, got an email with next steps, I replied. Silence. I replied again on 7/14. Silence. Come 7/26 I get an email saying the position had been filled. So nice to be ghosted after such a positive phone call.

The interview and offer process was quick. There were three pretty informal behavioral interviews, a system design interview, and a basic technical question that could be extended.
Everyone was quite friendly and willing to answer questions. The interviews with director and VP showed they were pretty technical which was fantastic!
The recruiters seemed very busy because I was interacting with three people. They couldn't match another offer I had and seemed to have little wiggle room with comp/title/perks like WFH.
