Pros

In doing my research before joining, on Glassdoor there were numerous glowing testaments, which I took with a pinch of salt. Not only does Tanium advertise a company who treats its employees very well, and offers a great range of benefits and career opportunities to grow using world class technology, In my year at the company, it is this and much more, that is why it's the best company I've worked for. And I've been around many companies and industries over a couple of decades. Great supportive team. Imposter syndrome was real for me during the 'firehose' of new hire training but the support available from management, peers and training staff is amazing. If you need help, no one is too busy, but you'll find someone from anywhere in the world happy to jump on a call with you and help. You are treated like an adult, and I've genuinely yet to meet someone I don't get on with. The culture is so important to this company, that the rigorous interviewing process ensures everyone is humble and leaves their ego at the door and all pushes in one direction to succeed. Even joining during Covid, my manager who was US based was so professional, that she would be available on UK time to support me during my onboarding.

Cons

A constant comment from me anywhere I've been is 'too many meetings...' Tanium has a few, but refreshing comments recently from Orion, is if your in a meeting which is adding no value and has no defined outcomes or actions - just leave the meeting. So what would be a con, is now a plus.

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.
