J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Tanium (Emeryville, CA) en déc. 2019
Entretien
Tanium has multiple phone rounds before an onsite interview. This is great because you don't have to travel and miss work until you've passed 3 or 4 rounds.
As for the interviewing process: 1st phone screen is with a hiring manager and is mainly behavioral and background based questions. You'll then have 2-3 technical phone screens with leetcode medium type questions (similar to what you'll see at Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc.).
If you make it to an onsite interview you'll have a couple of meetings with Senior Management to discuss your background and to ask questions about Tanium, you'll have a coding interview, lunch, and an interview with someone from HR/recruiting to ask any benefits type questions.
Overall it was a great experience. Coding and behavior questions are in line with what I saw while interviewing at some of the big-name tech companies. As another person wrote in her review, there were no dumb trivia type questions nor language-specific questions.

Question 1
Know your data structures (leetcode medium-hard). Go through Amazon principles as this, in general, will help you answer any behavioral/background type questions. Also, know what's on your resume.

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.
