Needless bureaucracy and reporting.

Pros

Outstanding software sometimes plagued by bugs caused by rush to release, but this is improving. Super smart TAM organization - everyone of them will go to the wall to support the customer. Hardest working admin staff I've ever seen. Very high-touch, but that's required for the complexity of the product. Very generous compensation, and you earn every penny of it. I love the free lunches.

Cons

No end to the daily, weekly, and monthly reports, most of which are completely unnecessary if they trusted the employees to behave like adults. Although most direct management is very understanding when life gets in the way, you are still expected to perform at peak levels somehow. People are often peer-pressured into working during vacations and other life events.

Pros

Technology is solid and works for discovery and patching. - Other tools in the 'suite' of Tanium are not best of breed and more like a "us too" moment. Pay is progressive and benefits are decent. RSUs are a decent package.

Cons

- CEO may not believe in PowerPoints but customers want to see the why in a visual not just through a nod of our voice and a demo. - CEO needs to respect all talents individuals bring and not try to strangle the company to only doing it his way. So rigid in his approach that you can only do demo's his way. New CMO started in 2021 and the CMO was opening up about who he was, where he came from, his family, in a few brief slides. CEO comes out the gate "Yea sorry when I see PowerPoints, I zone out " - Tanium is getting passed up because of lack of innovation and simplification. - Tanium doesn't have a simple way for customers to deploy their own agent and rely on other tools. - Tanium sales processes are long, complex, and not easy for approvals to win deals. Multiple hands get in the kitchen. - Mid-market deals get higher discount than the largest customers which makes a huge gap between divisions. - Culture is very toxic. Most of the reviews are in the honeymoon phase on this website. They ask for a review after 30 days of employment and send it out to boost their image. - No career growth. - They reward senior people with deals rather than actually aligning accounts to territory. They cherry pick deals and give them to senior Tanium reps to keep them happy. Example: Rep leaves, deals that are in pipeline to close are sent to senior reps to ensure they continue to hit their numbers and will work deals outside their geographic area just to get a sale. Very bro centric. - Leadership isn't in it to win at all costs. They claim teamwork but it all falls on the individuals to do what's necessary to win. Very 'whats in it for me' attitude. - Motto one team one fight is a lie. They claim this but there was multiple instances where 'agreements' to split commissions would be made but when the deal came in those agreements 'expired' somehow. - No work life balance even when they say 'unlimited PTO' they will make you feel bad for taking time off work. - Highly unethical culture and very vindictive - Had multiple people offer me drugs or ask me to find drugs while employed at Tanium. Leaders looked the other way.

Pros

Good culture, great benefits, travel, good chance to learn from a solid start-up.

Cons

No transparency when it comes to job security. Little to no training. Not organized. Lots of turnover in C-level staff. Will tell you one day that your job is completely secure because of great financial status, but the next day will lay you off with no explanation of why. I love Tanium as a technology, but they don't treat employees as equals.
