Pros

- The technology is insanely awesome - The 1-Team-1-Fight culture isn't lip service...It's legitimately the way everyone conducts themselves, and enables you to do the best work of your career - Everyone is brilliant here, but the ego's aren't prevalent or even tolerated - They make you feel welcome and empowered from day ONE - Strong work/life balance attitude (you just have to have self control to know when you need to step away)

Cons

- Super fast paced (is to be expected for a unicorn startup) - You WILL feel imposter syndrome; which goes to show how they only hire top-tier talent. But if you get past the interviews and hired on..you deserve to be here; so don't lose sight of that

Pros

The Tanium team is hands down the best team I've ever had the pleasure of working with. It is clear that Tanium not only brings in the best talent from a wide variety of backgrounds, but also people who are always willing to go above and beyond to help the customer and the rest of the team. The platform has unrivaled capabilities and is continuing to grow with the help of everyone in the company. Tanium leadership shows a deep appreciation for their employees and regularly do their part to ensure that everyone is taken care of, both in their work life and their personal life.

Cons

Imposter syndrome can be a very real feeling for the first few months - that is not unexpected when working with such a talented group of individuals - but it is something that can be overcome easily if you understand that you are here for a reason, just like everyone else. The 401k matching can continue to be improved as it has been in the last couple of years. You can easily find yourself overwhelmed from time to time, whether it's from needs of the customer or needs of the company. You sometimes have to be very proactive in stepping away from your desk in order to recharge your batteries, but even then it can sometimes feel like the company is continuing to drive down the road at 100mph without you.

Pros

Tanium is a serious engineering organization with truly innovative technology built by the kindest, most upstanding engineers I've ever worked with. Tanium prides itself on Doing the Right Thing and Winning as a Team, and it shows in the helpful, kind way everyone at the company behaves. It's been so refreshing to be able to trust that my work will be appreciated and that I can ask for help without looking stupid. Tanium has a very flat org structure (all engineers, except for interns, start as Senior Software Engineers and there is no title promotion), which helps the best ideas win, instead of the ideas coming from the most senior title.

Cons

Tanium is a well-kept secret outside of the Enterprise IT community, so you'll be explaining what you do to a lot of your friends and family. They do an excellent job of training new employees though, so it won't be hard! Also, due to the excellent internal strategy of not using title changes for promotions, it's a little bit of an adjustment to learn how career growth works here.
