Tanium reviews

Tanium was once dedicated to preserving a "win as a team, one team one fight" culture, but as it struggled to find a time to launch its IPO and saw its valuation shrink dramatically as VC/tech funding dried up post-COVID, it was forced to consider its employees with the same cutthroat beancounting that it had derided in the wider industry. Tanium's culture now is marked and undermined by regular, small layoffs. It downsizes the workforce regularly, with small, targeted headcount reductions-- this happens at least once a quarter, sometimes more frequently. A person is there on Monday and then gone on Tuesday (cutdown day). Speaking from experience, that person is not told ahead of time "hey, your position is going away, you have 30-60 days to find something else at Tanium." Your manager schedules a Tuesday 1x1, spends ten minutes pretending everything's fine, and then brings someone from HR who you've never met onto your Zoom meeting to walk you through your severance and tell you "it's not you, it's us" (I was told explicitly it was not performance related). It is callous and shameful and it will make you feel like a dunce for believing in the corporate culture slogans. You won't get a call or email or any other kind of message from anyone in your management chain once you're let go, whether because Legal and HR have warned them against doing so or because they're more interested in a clean break than the human experience of an ex-employee. I suspect the company's culture still works for some, perhaps if you make the right personal connections or check the right boxes. It failed to live up to its high-minded promises in my experience.

Continually missed opportunities for IPO Continually making huge product choices on questionable and unfinished projects Some (my) manager outright lying to our faces Previous CEO untruthful
