Pros

Nice, hardworking, and smart people doing all the grunt work. Decent benefits.

Cons

Lack of transparency in all things. Raises are almost non-existent. It’s one thing to work hard in a start up environment (it’s expected) but it’s insane inefficiency that is maddening and the startup mentality excuse is not the root cause. It actually behaves like an old, slow moving company. The company is the most political ever witnessed, which is hugely ironic because a core value is allegedly “we reject corporate politics.” The “we might IPO” carrot is played out and people are leaving by the masses. The technology itself is good but carries a lot of tech debt and others are cheaper and improving faster in this space.

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.
