      Senior Backend Engineer Interview

      Mar 23, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. 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!
