Pros

I've learned more during my time at Tanium than at all other jobs combined. For the most part, the team is really engaged, driven, and passionate about their work. It creates an environment where you're constantly challenged and learning. Leadership seems to really care that employees are happy. I've seen many examples of employees being given opportunities to take on projects that they're passionate about even if it's not within the scope of their job. The leaders like providing these opportunities and connecting people with the work that will most engage them. There are some really cool and funny people at Tanium. They make work fun. Nice benefits like volunteer time off.

Cons

Part of Tanium's appeal is that everyone on the team is engaged and pulling their own weight. Unfortunately that's not the case on all teams. There are people that are poor performers AND lack professionalism/integrity, but for some reason are left alone to the dismay of their teams. I'm not sure why management won't do anything, and maybe there are good reasons, but it's really demoralizing for the rest of the team. These people are definitely an exception, not the rule. Work/life balance can be tough as people are expected to carry a lot. Managers are flexible and understanding though.

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.
