Pros

My direct and most of the greater team are really good people. Tanium makes a point to hire good people. The insurance is competitive and the allowance on volunteer time is nice. I usually had the resources I needed to perform well. I do miss the team and the first years I experienced there were great.

Cons

They are undergoing forever layoffs - mini and continuous since 2024 which makes the environment constantly stressful because you aren't sure who is next. Plus there is a lot org reorganization which also is part of the constant downsizing. I was laid off but it wasn't surprising given the signs proceeding the event. I was also high-performance, had received raises and bonuses, etc so it was most definitely not performance related but a matter of numbers since my role was outsourced to Poland. I also have witnessed a big culture shift, where it seems like bringing in former team members from other companies and focusing on male counterparts has become the trend. One leader in particular was behind the scenes trying to manipulate things and pit managers against one another, which was very unlike what I had experienced there previously. Finally, the RSU situation is a tax burden I didn't for see. Plus, they decided to deny them to people who didn't meet the RTO standard but didn't actually warn people this would happen which feels unethical.

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.
