Pros

I've been at Tanium for less than a year, and I can already tell that this company is one that will take care of its employees for years. I can only speak from the engineering side of things, but I have experienced some of the most collaborative and motivating experiences in my career. Things move quickly, but everyone is available at all times (during the work day, but sometimes even after) to troubleshoot or answer questions. Unlimited PTO and being 100% remote is a plus, but I've not seen anyone abuse this system. The atmosphere is professional, collegial, and respectful. The company structure is also very flat, which means that many, if not all, of the "higher-ups" are fully engaged with what's happening on the ground.

Cons

Things are fluid and fast-paced, which requires a lot of rapid critical thinking and putting out of fires. Also, because of the highly collaborative work environment, it may be difficult for success-driven employees to find a good work-life balance.

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.
