Pros

We are trusted, and treated like adults and allowed to manage our own time and workload without scrutiny. This is due to Taniums rigorous hiring process, ensuring that they only hire those with the qualities necessary to be empowered with such trust. Tanium look for qualities in people that cannot be taught. Technology and skills can be acquired through learning, but you cannot learn being honest, having true integrity, and always ensuring you do the right thing, no matter the cost. The job is both challenging and enjoyable. Every day we learn something new and every day is a school day which keeps things interesting and fresh. In Tanium, we truly are family, supporting each other and having each others backs through thick and thin. Knowledge is openly shared and learning and innovation is encouraged. Throughout all levels in the company, we are all considered peers and everyone, and i mean EVERYONE makes themselves available to everyone else to provide assistance and guidance where needed. There is no room for ego in Tanium. Moving to Tanium was the best move I have made so far in my career. Gone are the management hierarchies where senior people are unreachable. Gone are the bullies who use superior knowledge to try and keep others "in their box" Gone are the "gurus" who know everything and build their little empires by keeping others in the dark and retaining arcane knowledge in an attempt to further make themselves indispensable or be held on a pedestal by others. Gone are those times where you reach out for help and no-one replies as they simply can't be bothered or have that "its not my job" you see all so often. EVERYONE pitches in, EVERYONE shares knowledge and experience openly , EVERYONE rallies to the side of others where needed....everyone behaves like they actually care about other members of the Tanium family, and that makes all the difference! I can honestly say its the first place I've ever worked, where I look forward to the start of the working day! Repeatedly voted one of the best workplaces across a number of industry polls, and rightly so!

Cons

I haven't encountered any so far. I've only taken away positives in almost 2 and half years of being here.

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.
