Pros

The individual contributors that have been there for more than 4 years are some of the best in the industry. They are the reason Tanium used to be a great place, and are still some of the best people to work with.

Cons

Multiple instances where highly paid high performers were told they were no longer meeting expectations and fired weeks later without any metrics to improve by, or never given an opportunity to transfer to another role. While Tanium still has a very complex hiring process and are good at finding the best people, the new breed of Executives have caused the culture to become full of fear and not willing to speaking up. Too many vocal peers suddenly disappear the next day. During my tenure, multiple layoffs without an announcement, with entire teams gutted. A quite firing or RIF with no end of action announced or plan provided as to how they messed up so bad. Product Marketing had two layoffs where they removed all leadership in 3 years. Leadership would create new teams expecting the sales needle to move and when it didn't quickly, reversed direction and would let people go. Changing of executive leaders resulted in removal or demotion of long standing Tanium loyal employees. Loyalty is expected one way only, to the top. No ability to deliver product, the tech debt and decisions made by one of the founders created a Sisyphean struggle to try to keep up, but it is impossible.

Pros

Reasonable workload Really great coworkers

Cons

The leadership makes final calls on decisions they know nothing about, ignoring the team recommendations. Lots of nepotism at play in the company and heading downhill in this direction since I started years back.
