Pros

Some teams are absolutely lovely to work with. I find that I am consistently working with extremely brilliant people. I find that I have technically grown more here than at any other company I’ve worked at. Leadership seems to be transparent in my opinion, but I’m also not a long-term employee who has seen the company grow over the last 10+ years.

Cons

Some people are absolutely dreadful to work with at the company. They are so unaware of how they make other people feel, and if they are senior enough in the organization, they are protected. Diversity, at least, in the engineering org, it’s pretty depressing. If you are a mid 30s/early 40s white guy with kids, you’ll fit right in.

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.
