Pros

Colleagues are oftentimes great people to work with Decent benefits/compensation Work remotely from anywhere Certain managers are exceptional

Cons

Politics - For a company of approximately 1,700 employees, the politics here are now exceptionally vicious. This wasn't always the case, but it's become increasingly toxic since David Hindawi receded from the limelight with his son at the helm. Tanium has more yes-men now more than ever and increasingly so. Don't even bother reporting anything to HR. They are there to protect the executive team and no amount of documentation will change the outcome. Culture - Tanium used to believe in and act inline with their cultural pillars (win as a team, do the right thing, we are unstoppable). It is now: 1. The only people who matter are in leadership, everyone else is disposable 2. Integrity is optional 3. Eliminate anyone who stands in your way For a company that was under fire for poor cultural practices in 2017, it has become apparent they did not learn from their mistakes. Tanium regressed back into old habits which was made painstakingly obvious with the claw backs recently in October 2020. It is clear that Orion Hindawi will never be his father. Though it is not as compelling as my first two points, Tanium is stingy - We didn't have any holiday fun or activities during the great pandemic of 2020. Friends at other equivalent companies held events in lieu of a holiday party. Employees at other companies also got larger bonuses since they didn't have catered lunches anymore or a monthly stipend. This was not the case at Tanium. If you really want to know more about Tanium's history of bad behavior, google it.

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.
