Pros

This company is great to work for. There are people here that truly help you to be the best you can be. It's in everyone's interest for you to be at the top of your game, and that seems to be a part of the culture. Everyone helps out where they can, to make a solid unified front. The dedication to the product development and innovation as well as the betterment of the workforce, is top-notch.

Cons

Growing pains. The technology is legitimate and a lot of companies are realizing that. That means the company is expanding quickly in order to support the customer base. There's no simple formula for successful rapid growth, but I think leadership is steering the boat in the right direction.

Best I've Ever Worked For!

Pros

To say that Tanium is not your average company is a gross understatement. Tanium is by far the most challenging, high op-tempo environment I've ever seen. It's also the most positive environment I've ever worked in. The company is highly technologist focused. That is to say, it's not the sales org around which Tanium builds its culture, but rather the technical organization. That's not to say that Sales isn't respected, just that it's not the normal "I'm the sales guy, where's my SE!!!" dynamic. You'll find that the technical folks and the sales folks have a deep mutual respect. Tanium does not employ "SEs". The technical account managers (TAMs) are hard core engineers for the most part, but you won't find a prima donna among them (if you do, you'll likely find them headed out the door with a hearty "good bye" from their peers). That's another great aspect; no drama. Tanium employs adults, and what do you know, adults can pretty much get along, manage themselves and be productive out of the sheer joy of producing something meaningful. It's really an incredible place. I can't say how fortunate I consider myself to work here. I've been in the cyber-security and engineering world for about 25 years and this place is just light years ahead of every other place I've been.

Cons

The hours can be long, but I do that to myself. My position requires constant travel, but I knew that getting into it and it's a calculated investment. The only real con I can think of over the past few years that I've been here is perhaps a lack of bacon in the early days. Fortunately, that has been remedied of late.

Pros

Very fast paced environment. Excellent compensation package. There are so many highly technical people working here that finding out an answer to any question you can conceive is possible. Great team-based atmosphere, but each individual is expected to be a self-starter, without requiring micromanagement (which does not exist here).

Cons

It is a very challenging environment, and if you are not willing to learn new skills, you won't be able to survive as an employee. Excellence is expected of everyone, but the rewards are definitely worth it for anyone who's willing to put in the effort.
