Pros

Unlike other companies / technologies I have dealt with - The Tanium platform is the most performant I've seen - in any regard. You don't have to take my word for it - ask a Tanium customer. I also enjoy showing a solution to a potential customer and literally have then tell me "thats not possible!" only to prove its the real thing after a couple week install and evaluation to all the endpoints they can throw at it!

Cons

Due to popular demand - my workload is increasing exponentially. We are hiring the best as quickly as possible - but I could literally work 24/7 and not be done. It's on me to find that work life balance (I have as many days off as I need per company wide policy) but that's the only con I can think of.. Oh - also have had former Execs who were let go for everything from fraud, doing drugs onsite and screwing everything not nailed down , other moral and ethical failures make unfounded accusations to a gullible press. Haters gonna hate. It's clear the competition can't beat us head to head, so they've resorted to outsourcing personal attacks. When you are steam rolling the competition - this sort of thing is bound to happen. I haven't see Tanium lose a head to head competitive bake off in almost 3 years.

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.
