Pros

I've worked in the IT industry for nearly 25 years and there has been a mix of the good bad and the bad, typically you are lucky if you score a hit of 1 in 3. Great Company, Great Product or Great People. It's the first time I've hit all three and it feels amazing. It's a grown up business, full of experienced professionals who don't need to be mollycoddled. The focus on the customer and our businesses is unmatched. The IT industry is full of companies that spend 2X their revenue to oversell or overmarket their lack lustre solutions and Tanium just doesn't have to. One customer I recently met said that the only limitation of the Tanium platform is their imagination. It's that good. > Modest > Focussed on Execution > Fast Paced with Delivery of new capability, every 90 days > The best people you will have EVER worked with > Hypergrowth and all the excitement and experience that comes with it > Extremely supportive investors, incl a16z who are unmatched when it comes to Fortune2000 relationships

Cons

Some might say that there aren't any, it's that good, but; > Frugality. The company has strict financial controls and there is very little tolerance for breaking them. > Decision making. As the company has grown the decisioning systems haven't kept pace. But it's being fixed.

Pros

I've worked for Tanium over 5 years and have seen a lot of change. The pace is fast and the teams are small so if you want autonomy and ownership this is a great place to work.

Cons

They're constantly reorging, it would be nice if the exec team could make up their mind on how they want the org structured and stick to it. They tend to do whatever other "hot" companies at the time are doing. The founder still plays a massive role and the c-suite just seem like his puppets. No one wants to be in office and ppl constantly complain but no one in leadership listens. It used to feel like they cared about what the employees say, but now everyone seems beaten down and just does the work so they're not laid off. Pay is also low compared to competitors. You have a decent annual salary but no bonus and no IPO in sight. You'll get RSUs but the price keeps going down with a promise to go back up. I've only seen it go down in my experience so just be mindful that whatever your base salary is (unless you're in sales) is going to be your total earnings.
