I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tanium (Detroit, MI) in Aug 2015
Interview
Many calls and meetings. They will set you up with an introductory call that's focused on personality and culture match while also screening for technical ability briefly. Then you will go through a technical screening which is the most difficult I've ever been through - they will ask you to go through troubleshooting process flow and quiz you on past projects and experiences. Very tough but also very fair. Then if you make it through the tech screen, you'll likely have more interview calls with the head of the engineering org, the local sales team and other TAMs you would be working with. Finally, they will fly you to HQ where you'll do several interviews back to back culminating in their President, David, who will vet you before an offer will be made
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk through how you would troubleshoot a sample issue, such as a service not running properly.
3 interviews with different TAM's. Initial phone screen with recruiter as well. I love how they had actual TAM's interviewing because they gave a lot of insight and info on the role/intern program during the interviews.

Question 1
Why do you want to be a TAM?
Tell us about your background.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tanium (Denver, CO) in Nov 2019
Interview
The process is extensive, including multiple phone screenings and homework assignments involving troubleshooting and configuring the product. The people I engaged with were courteous and professional. As a result of the homework assignments. I felt comfortable that the technology works. Unfortunately, because the process was so lengthy (over 2 months, 3 homework assignments and 6 phone screenings) I received 2 other offer letters before Tanium personnel could approve/authorize another body. But overall, it was a good experience with good people- just not exactly "expeditious". Were it just a bit faster, they would have had me because I was treated so well and the tech actually works.

Install and configure the product, creating at least one "sensor" (I made 3) on at least 1 OS (I did 3).
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Tanium in Sept 2016
Interview
Interview was choppy and unprofessional. Initail screener was in the car and traveling, parking while talking with me. Was distracted and not focused on task at hand. Slow to respond and was not upfront with the decision tree. When a technical panel was finally scheduled there was no guidence on how to proceed.

Question 1
Technical screening, drilled into unnecessary technical questions.
