Pros

Amazing technology, teamwork on deals all the way up to the CEO, Technical support and capabilities are second to none. Best pay plan I've seen in over 20 years of IT sales. It's not even close. Lastly, all employees get stock and the company seems genuinely happy about sharing the wealth. It's a very ethical and unselfish work culture. If you stretch the truth, make secret deals or promises that cannot be delivered on, or you lie to get what you think is a good sale, out will not last here. Our founder and CEO care more about you and your family than any leaders I've ever met!

Cons

I don't really have any cons. I'll say this... It's fast paced. A lot is given, so a lot is expected. If you cannot be disciplined working remotely, you will be challenged. Expenses are reimbursed as there are no corporate charge cards. Most of these are wanting to know your strengths and weaknesses before seeking employment with Tanium. It's a solid company and I have zero complaints!

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.
