Process
A recruiter sent me a message asking for a few days/times when I was available to schedule a chat, as he was excited about my application. I sent him some times and dates and heard nothing back.
A few days later, I asked if he needed more dates. He suggested we meet on a day he was free, and I gave him more times when I was free that day. More silence.
A couple of days later, I asked him if we could meet the next week. He asked me what time, and I suggested some more times. Silence again.
After dealing with this recruiter for 10 days and not having anything scheduled, and to continually be ghosted, I would not work with this recruiter or Tenable again.

Tenable Work Experiences
- 1.0Engineers are ExpendableSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeColumbia, Maryland, United StatesApril 24, 2019Pros: Working from home flexibility Generous PTO and HolidaysCons: Constant reorganizations, layoffs, and firings of quality engineers. Below market pay. Lack of career growth, mainly because you'll be reporting to a different manager every few quarters and have to prove yourself all over again. Senior leadership is absolute chaos and has an inability to provide a clear vision or direction. New Sr. leadership uses dehumanizing words during all-hands meetings and town halls, referring to longtime respected engineers who have been fired as "Resources." New Sr. leadership refused to face the camera when addressing remote employees during his first all-hands meeting. That was the first clue a new round of layoffs were coming.
