Pros

- excellent/smart employees - great pay - great bonus - potentially exciting work - great position in the market

Cons

- the ship seems to have to no/limited direction. - the realignment has many getting put on jobs they didn't hire in for, nor have a desire to be limited to. (went from full stack to 1 thing) - no longer have any input in the design of the software. - the potentially exciting work is based on if your in the in crowd. - cliques. They will tell you that politics are a thing, and I'd say years ago I'd believe it, but with realignment and everyone clawing to get to the top it doesn't feel good. writing off the cons as "fast paced" is likely. It is or can be, but when you're fast paced because of repeated poor decisions and last minute busting butt to get out a poorly designed feature, that's not "fast paced", that's poor management.

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.
