Pros

Most of the people at Tanium are either very well educated, experienced and/or smart. Even with my 10+ years in different sales roles prior to joining if feel I’ve been learning at lot in the few months since I started and get the feeling that this is how it should be done. To me the company culture and the solution goes hand in hand to be an attractive place to work. The core technology and innovations that the platform stands on is extremely effective and ahead of the market since security breaches and possibilities with IT is more relevant than ever. I Truly believing that the solution can help a lot of companies in order to drive innovation with less complexity and costs of IT.

Cons

Tanium is still strangely not so well known even if 50+ of the global 100 companies is strategically using the solution. That is both a challenge and an opportunity in terms of creating sales. One of the core values for Tanium is winning as a team, I know a bunch of very very high skilled sales guys with very good track records that has not made the cut in terms of getting an offer to join. If you don’t fully buy in to the vision and higher strategy and be part of the team it can backfire.

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.
