Pros

Good compensation package, the bonus plan is generous and has consistently paid out. Tanium definitely tries to be on the forefront with its benefits package and seems genuinely invested in employees' wellbeing. Interesting products to work on. Exciting plans for the future. Feel connected to company success and growth. Fellow engineers are extremely knowledgable and always willing to help. Tanium being primarily remote before the pandemic meant adjusting to remote life changes was fairly seamless. Felt well supported as a remote employee even before the pandemic.

Cons

The focus on continuously delivering new tooling for customers means that there can be a large tech debt burden, and lack of thorough testing though there are clear plans in place to fix both. There is a semi-implicit expectation of working late to get the job done. Tanium has shown it isn't afraid to let go of employees that don't meet their expectations, which can be both good and bad. It's nice not having a coworker that doesn't pull their weight, but also can feel like your job isn't always secure.

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.
