Pros

Smart people work here, decent salary, flexible working hours, great technology. The company provides the technical staff with everything they need to do their job.

Cons

Management has become very bizarre with some truly awful, bad, and terrible recent hires at the AVP level. A company that once genuinely cared for employee happiness no longer cares and is happy to let gifted people burn out, stop caring, and be miserable. A huge disparity exists between salaries on very similar roles with the 'friends' of management getting the big bucks and the rest getting mediocre pay. Gone are the days when every employee had a purpose. Now we have managers of managers that don't seem to have any real role other than going to meetings and not doing anything. Such a disappointment for me now. The company is an empty shell of what it used to be and middle management has killed off the best of the culture.

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.
