Pros

Really, the title says all that needs saying. For the first time in my career I feel like I belong at a company I work for. Why? - I feel respected. Tanium respects me, and I respect Tanium. - Work environment. Team spirit and a sense of community is highly encouraged. "No Stupid Questions" isn't just a saying. - Compensation package is excellent. - Equality and inclusion. I'm not just talking about social and ethical principals, which are top tier. I'm also referring to the ability for anyone in the company to get involved anywhere else in the company. Anyone is always welcome to get involved anywhere else. Which brings me to: - Advancement. You're a TAM and want to get involved in Sales? Go for it. In Sales right now and want to be a dev? We'll even train you. As long as it fits in with the needs of the company (i.e. you're not abandoning a customer contract) you can do anything you want here -- just put in the work and make your desires known to the org and it'll happen. - Permanent work-from-home for the entire company as long as there is no contractual obligation to be on site somewhere.

Cons

I'm sure I could think of something eventually but none right now.

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.
