Pros

Work with people who share the same level of excitement for the work we do. Highly collaborative people - Have never heard or said "Well that's not my problem". Strong sense that leadership holds themselves as accountable for decisions as they do us, and we do them. High level of autonomy is friendly to introverts like myself. Employees encouraged to recognize efforts of peers and recommend for reward. Actively encouraged to take PTO, even if just to get a long weekend, when needed.

Cons

Can be hard to pin time for personal growth when working on many things quickly. We do have open reqs to grow our team which would help, but a series of temporary squeezes can still be fairly disruptive to learning a skill that takes a lot of time, repetition, and practice.

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.
