Tanium is part of the problem.
A recruiter reached out to me, I took the call, and she seemed super excited about my “background” (I have a lot of enterprise design experience). She immediately set up a video call with the hiring manager for some time the following week, and then things got weird. The hiring manager was cold, didn’t seem interested in getting to know me, and got off the call pretty succinctly. I got a form email the next morning that just said they weren’t moving forward. Confused by my interactions with the manager, I sent the recruiter an email asking for more information. She was suddenly very short and incredibly vague. Several months later they hired another male designer — with less varied experiences on modern software products, it seemed. I can’t say I know specifically what happened, but I can say it unfortunately fits right in with the image the company has been struggling with. If you’re curious, spend some time scrolling through the list of employees on LinkedIn and maybe make your own decision about how it’s happening and why. Imagine how much work it takes for a Bay Area software company to only staff white men in 2018.
