Pros

Strong culture and core values, competitive pay, collaborative environment; was fully remote company when I was originally hired; no room for egos

Cons

Not many cons at the time, other than most folks wish the RSUs that come as part of total comp would return value to the employees through an IPO or acquisition. One note: It was hard to scale a new discipline to match needs with few resources (headcount, tooling); for example, both UX Research and Competitive Intelligence (CI) were experimental and yet very successful in terms of impact, but after several years still lacked support for scaling/growth.

Pros

I've worked for Tanium over 5 years and have seen a lot of change. The pace is fast and the teams are small so if you want autonomy and ownership this is a great place to work.

Cons

They're constantly reorging, it would be nice if the exec team could make up their mind on how they want the org structured and stick to it. They tend to do whatever other "hot" companies at the time are doing. The founder still plays a massive role and the c-suite just seem like his puppets. No one wants to be in office and ppl constantly complain but no one in leadership listens. It used to feel like they cared about what the employees say, but now everyone seems beaten down and just does the work so they're not laid off. Pay is also low compared to competitors. You have a decent annual salary but no bonus and no IPO in sight. You'll get RSUs but the price keeps going down with a promise to go back up. I've only seen it go down in my experience so just be mindful that whatever your base salary is (unless you're in sales) is going to be your total earnings.
