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.
