      Anonymous interview candidate

      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tenable (Ottawa, ON) in May 2025

      Interview

      First call with Tenable talent acquisition, next met with hiring manager. Both individuals were on time, friendly, open and honest. Hiring manager had technical thought experiments that tested knowledge - good and fair process.

      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tenable in Mar 2018

      Interview

      Typical process. Couple phone interviews and then panel interview with presentation. Do the research on competition. Know the security business. Sounds obvious but know the objections you might get from a customer and how to overcome them.

      Question 1

      How do you keep up to date with security? Mostly competency questions?
