Pros

* Really enjoyed the various teams I worked with. On the ground, it was a supportive and talented bunch. * Compensation/benefits were good. * Lots of great technology and challenges.

Cons

* Tanium was growing quite a bit. Growing pains are common, but they did a bunch of reactive layoffs. There's a guise of a warm, inviting culture (one team one fight), but abrupt and cold about departures. * Toot their own horn. The "look at how great we are" vibe came across as a company that is really insecure. * Tout their culture as one of the best in the industry, but it's nothing special. * Top-level management seems out of touch and a bit too deferential to the CEO. * Too self-congratulatory and kind of tactless. Though the technology being cutting edge, they put down other competitors, which says a lot.

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.
