Pros

I have been at Tanium for 4 years and it was the best career decision I have made. Every rep is attracted to the glimmer of a startup company that has massive potential but to actually find it and be able to find success is rare. Tanium is that company. The tech is game changing for customers and leadership continues to invest in it to keep their competitive edge. The organization, while having hierarchy, is very flat when it comes to asking for help or being able to reach out and give feedback. Everyone wants you to succeed and it fosters a collaborative culture. Also, while some startups get lost in their own sauce, leadership has maintained a very sober approach to what is working and what is not without letting tech startup fanboyism take away from the mission of delivering for our customers and pivoting where necessary based on the market. Also, work life balance here is great. Do you job well, then get out there and live your life.

Cons

Sales cycles can be long as you are usually selling to multiple departments. Also, being a newer company, it takes time to build up support over one of the bigger names to get approval.

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.
