Pros

Huge job satisfaction when customers get it! Huge capabilities built into the platform and portfolio of modules but massive opportunity to extend the platform with customer content. Compensation is great. On the few occasions where leadership announce changes to the org or that affect you personally they have been for the positive (mostly). I've never worked anywhere that commit so much time and energy to customers. Unlimited PTO. Open door policy. There is actually a great culture, 1 Team, 1 Fight! We don't hire prima donna's.

Cons

Internal changes or tools can be rushed and seem badly planned or untested. Some product features have been a long time coming. Growing pains. Specially, splitting the TAM org into a more traditional Pre-Sales, TAM, Post Sales teams. Bringing in people that don't get the culture

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.
