Pros

Been with Tanium for a little over 2 years now, and I still love logging in for work each morning. In my time I've gotten to work on a number of different projects each with significant impact for the business. I've had the pleasure of being able to work with different open source technologies and to work on difficult frontend problems.

Cons

There have been clear growing pains in the last year as more engineers are brought in and the engineering org switched how it organized teams. These issues seem to be improving. There are few paths for promotions.

Pros

The people are awesome. It's impressive how people come together and believe in the one team, one fight mantra. The benefits are amazing. This could have easily been one of the best jobs I've ever had.

Cons

The CEO flip-flops constantly on what he considers important to focus. For example, Tanium was poised to take over the security space, they had even hired a bunch of subject matter experts, but then it was decided that the direction was going to go in a totally different direction. There is also a fear of getting on the CEO's bad side for fear of retaliation. Some of the higher ups try to make you feel bad for expenses incurred during mandatory company get-togethers. I've never been at a place that treats you like a child with respect to expenses. There are of course limits, and rightfully so, but to make you feel bad because you almost got to that limit or you didn't car share because there wasn't going to be someone at the airport for another 2 hours after your flight arrived is ludicrous. For a company that's doing well, it seems strange to try to make you feel grateful for them allowing you to expense something. The hiring process is painful. It takes forever to hire people and the really good ones often get tired of the process and leave the pipeline before they can complete it.

Pros

-No micromanagement -Work on what you think will be most impactful -Lots of teamwork, receive prompt assistance on Slack, and you are empowered to fix other teams' code -Can work remotely forever, super flexible

Cons

Product iterates rapidly, might throw away lots of code. Still a good learning experience, and change and improvement is for the sake of the users.
