Pros

Great upside for our business. Amazing technology. Potential IPO or Acquisition in our future. Private RSUs that you can actually cash in on. Great culture, and passionate leadership. Many roles are now 100% work-from-home. Home office stipend. People across the organization are so helpful. Unlimited PTO. The pay is slightly above average. 10th highest-valued US unicorn as of Oct 2020.

Cons

As most start ups go, you'll often work a little more than 40 hours a week - but most managers are accommodating if you have important family or medical appointments during the week. The Health Benefits aren't the best, but they are one of the best I've seen for a private company. The sales force is still prominently white males (such is tech sales) - but the company is working on it, and the sales folks are all very kind and respectful.

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.
