Pros

- Our Chairman and CEO, David and Orion Hindawi (father & son) are the co-founders. Not only do they deeply understand the product, but they truly care about its excellent quality and value for our customers. - 99% of the people I work with at Tanium are intelligent, hardworking, kind, and easy to work with. - They pay better than the other two tech companies I've worked at, prior - Right now (pandemic), most of the workforce is 100% WFH except for rare onsite events or annual planning weeks. - Things just get done here. Everyone is helpful. - Potential IPO in the next few years, but even if we stay private, the company does optional stock/RSU buyback events where you can sell a small portion of your vested private stock back to the company for cash. - If you work hard and are open to growth, there really are a ton of growth opportunities, just scan LinkedIn for people who have been here for years. Great people get promoted quickly, regardless of age or years of experience. You are rewarded for your ability and the work you put in.

Cons

- Most teams have to work overtime, but I doubt that's any different than any other tech startups - If you like in-person work at the office, most of the company works from home now - IPO is still uncertain, but again, no different than most tech startups

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.
