Pros

I have been at Tanium for 4 years and it was the best career decision I have made. Every rep is attracted to the glimmer of a startup company that has massive potential but to actually find it and be able to find success is rare. Tanium is that company. The tech is game changing for customers and leadership continues to invest in it to keep their competitive edge. The organization, while having hierarchy, is very flat when it comes to asking for help or being able to reach out and give feedback. Everyone wants you to succeed and it fosters a collaborative culture. Also, while some startups get lost in their own sauce, leadership has maintained a very sober approach to what is working and what is not without letting tech startup fanboyism take away from the mission of delivering for our customers and pivoting where necessary based on the market. Also, work life balance here is great. Do you job well, then get out there and live your life.

Cons

Sales cycles can be long as you are usually selling to multiple departments. Also, being a newer company, it takes time to build up support over one of the bigger names to get approval.

Pros

- Smart colleagues I can learn from - A team-oriented rather than ego-driven culture - Opportunities to mentor others: interns, new hires, junior employees, college programs - Great compensation - Modern tech stack - Empowerment to recognize and improve on pain points - Free to contribute to projects outside of my own team if I'm interested - QA and devops orgs that are making the developer experience better and better every day - Freedom to invest some time in necessary but non-"flashy" tasks like refactoring code to make it more maintainable - Mutual trust and respect with my manager - Opportunities for public shout-outs (and bonuses) when people do great work - Able to connect with colleagues with similar interests or life experiences/demographics - Interesting and important industry - Company values that I can buy into ("we do the right thing", "we win as a team", "we are unstoppable") - I trust company leadership to make good big-picture decisions

Cons

- Need more product owners or project managers to drive the spec'ing of the things we're building, at the level of detail needed for engineering to do great work - Wish we had more women engineers
