Pros

The product solves some real customer business issues.

Cons

1. Corporate initiatives are short-lived. Executives pivot too soon without seeing initiatives through. 2. Don't be fooled by the stock options they throw at you during the hiring process. The stock is monopoly money. It's not worth anything of real value until they sell the company or go public, which in this economy won't happen. The other kicker is your pay taxes on your vested stock each year even though you can't do anything with it. 3. New hire training includes Glass Door reviews. That's why you see so many 5-star reviews. They get you to write reviews while still drinking their kool-aid. 4. The TAMs keep the company afloat. They are responsible for everything from product demos, customer support, renewals, and QA. Good luck getting the same technical resource for your opportunities. 5. Tanium has been laying off in small batches so not to raise alarm bells outside the company. 6. You preceive that you are valued until you're not. Job performance feedback is non-existant. Not once did I have a yearly review.

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.
