I was initially screened by the recruiter who was very professional and very knowledgeable about the Tanium products. I felt positive going into the second round with the hiring manager, however, this is where my positivity went off the rails.
The interview with the hiring manager was conducted over video conferencing and started off as they all do. He asked about work experience and then whether or not I had experience with endpoint agents. I answered all of these quite easily. I have 20 years of technology experience and touched every aspect of technology as well as experience working at a startup. We had a good back and forth for about 20 minutes. Our conversation was proceeding very good then it went sideways then off the road. All of a sudden, the interviewer said that the role will require late night work and sometimes I'd have to travel. I've worked in a 24x7x365 role for 20 years, what else would I expect in a technology role. Well, that wasn't enough to convince him to proceed further and the interview was abruptly ended.
I felt that the video conference was used to determine 'fit' for the role regardless of experience or skill. I guess if I wasn't going to get a fair shake in an interview, there was no way I was going to succeed in the company. It did bother me enough to enter in this post. However, I was very impressed with the product and wanted to see its security automation function in a large environment.
