Pros

Tanium values their employees and that's evident from the very first day. They construct an onboarding program (NHT - New Hire Training) that is specific to your job and duties. Although it is very rigorous, most of what they are teaching has been fine tuned and is specific to what you need to know to do your job effectively. I've worked from some BIG names in the tech industry and the NHT/onboarding from these companies was nowhere close to what Tanium provides. The culture and communication, internal to Tanium, is top notch. From day one, I have felt as if I have became part of something special. Tanium's philosophies are centered on ethics and "Doing the right thing..." Many times, after my first day, I was told "You made it through the interview. You belong here". That statement could not be more true because the Tanium interview process rates very high in terms of thoroughness and difficulty. But, once you get past the interview and start, you are welcomed with open arms, genuine smiles, by some very smart opened mined people and given everything you need to be successful. The people here are genuinely happy and I really do feel as if I can reach out to anyone if I need assistance, especially when it comes to managing an account. Since I've been here their has been a lot of emphasis on not doing anything alone. This is evident when you join customer calls because all the teams involved want to see you succeed as much as they want to successful themselves. In short, everything about Tanium that I've experienced so far is 5 STARTS!!!

Cons

Very rigorous and challenging interview process. For the TSE position, I think I had at least 5 interviews, including a panel interview and 45 minute presentation.

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.
