Pros

This is an engineering driven development organization, with of course leadership from product management. The technical account managers are the heart of this company and our customers love the model. The development teams here work every day with the account management team and the customers directly. Release cycles are aggressive, but satisfy the needs of our customers fast. The products here are making a difference and the solutions are fun and interesting. Lastly, the teams are all everything you could want. Developers from many different walks come together and are eager to roll up their sleeves and help on any problem. Best culture I have ever worked in. Believe it or not, there is encouragement from the top to ensure we are all adults are taking care of our personal needs. Work life balance is encouraged despite the job being demanding. It's the slack given, I feel, by the rest of the team to each other when we all recognize that each person is a valued contributor.

Cons

Don't work here if you want to hide. Everyone owns something and if you don't, why are you here? This is not a big company with large release cycles where you can coast the majority of the time or hide under the apparent inevitable momentum of current success. If you work here, you are contributing. If you are not contributing, you are not working here.

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.
