      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      1 Oct 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Indianapolis, IN
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tanium (Indianapolis, IN) in Sept 2021

      Interview

      I was given a referral by a previous colleague, who is now a Tanium employee. I was then contacted by a technical recruiter, who told me about the company, job, and asked a bit about my previous work experience. I was about the interview process: 1 video conversation with an engineer, 2 coding challenges, and a video interview with (I think) the VP of Engineering. This seemed pretty on par with other top level software companies I've worked for or interviewed with. Each process took about a week in between to get scheduled, but recruiting was responsive and prompt. The first conversation was relaxed and was a typical "tell me about yourself and work history" style interview. I was moved to the next stage, the programming challenges. They were scheduled a week later, on a Wednesday. Each programming interview was 1 hour long and mine were back to back. They were typical Leet Code type recursion problems. The first challenge proctor was helpful enough and was kind enough to point out some areas in my code to look and think on. I didn't do too hot on the first one and I considered myself out of consideration after that. But I still had another challenge immediately after. This proctor was a bit warmer and asked more questions about me, my work, and background. I was able to solve the challenge and edge cases in the allotted time with what I believed was the best recursive solution. After the coding challenges were completed, I re-wrote my code from the first challenge and sent it to my technical recruiter, asking her to relay it on the proctor and appropriate parties; I wanted to share my thoughts on my approach. Not sure if this can actually help or hurt one's chance. I was hoping that the 2nd challenge had enough weight or merit to pull me through to the next stage of interviewing, but I received the decline email on Saturday morning. Overall, an average interviewing experience. Like many other enterprise software companies, there are too many steps and people to go through to land a job. I also understand that these businesses have the resources to be picky about who they hire.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      22 Aug 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Emeryville, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Tanium (Emeryville, CA) in Aug 2025

      Interview

      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.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tanium in Jul 2025

      Interview

      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.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      9 Sept 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tanium in Aug 2024

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Design a system similar to Tanium's endpoint monitoring system.
