Pros

-The technology is top notch. It consistently “wows” the customer and it actually works really, really well. -The dev/engineering teams actually listen to feedback from customers and internal technical teams to make the product better. -The company culture, morals, values, mindset, and leadership are all solid. Everyone is team oriented, do their job well, are mission focused, and motivated everyday. Leadership does not put up barriers or walls - they truly embody our mantra of “one team, one fight”. They will without hesitation “get their hands dirty” in order to make our company or the company successful. -Technical resources, training, onboarding, ongoing training opportunities is awesome and well structured. -A lot of incredibly smart people here! -Unlimited PTO w/o the shame game! -Competitive comp packages

Cons

-work/life balance...... -The Product is complex. There are 15 modules. The learning curve is STEEP! -The TAM role is probably the most demanding, pressure filled, high expectation role at Tanium. While there have been recent changes that are meant to off-load some duties, that will likely take a few more years to fully surface. Currently, the TAM is responsible for some PreSales, Technical Support, ProServices, Training, and Product Testing/QA. With that, that makes the first point listed above even more true! Being dedicated tech support to a handful of accounts is a time suck and a daily grind. Burn out is very real here! Unless you’ve been here for 3+ years already and know the product intimately, expect a rough ride for the first 12 months atleast. -Unless you are an absolute expert in a domain or 2 of IT/Cyber or programming, you’ll likely feel like an outsider.

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.
