Pros

There are some great people at Tanium who truly believe in the product. Opportunities are a mixed bag - you might be able to do some new things, take on tasks you have never done before. However, you may be expected to do these new things with minimal guidance or training. Higher than average salaries.

Cons

Communication is lacking and inconsistent. Constant changes and restructuring doesn't leave much time to gain efficiencies or shift from a firefighting mentality. Burn out is very real. Benefits could be better - No real change in 401k or education benefits over my time.

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.
