Pros

The Tanium team is hands down the best team I've ever had the pleasure of working with. It is clear that Tanium not only brings in the best talent from a wide variety of backgrounds, but also people who are always willing to go above and beyond to help the customer and the rest of the team. The platform has unrivaled capabilities and is continuing to grow with the help of everyone in the company. Tanium leadership shows a deep appreciation for their employees and regularly do their part to ensure that everyone is taken care of, both in their work life and their personal life.

Cons

Imposter syndrome can be a very real feeling for the first few months - that is not unexpected when working with such a talented group of individuals - but it is something that can be overcome easily if you understand that you are here for a reason, just like everyone else. The 401k matching can continue to be improved as it has been in the last couple of years. You can easily find yourself overwhelmed from time to time, whether it's from needs of the customer or needs of the company. You sometimes have to be very proactive in stepping away from your desk in order to recharge your batteries, but even then it can sometimes feel like the company is continuing to drive down the road at 100mph without you.

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.
