Pros

-High base salary -Cross-functional, fast paced environment. Learned a lot during my time here -Meaningful work -Great engineering and innovative culture -Smart coworkers

Cons

-Company stalled for a few years prior to new CEO. Missed an opportunity to capitalize on its market position. -No clear path to promo or yearly raises. Depends on the visibility of your work and your manager. -IPO intentions are not clear. Leadership fails to communicate a plan to IPO. Employees are left working endlessly towards a moving target. -Executive turnover is concerning

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.

Pros

Strong place to start a career in tech sales, especially for those looking to build foundational skills * High-quality product with a compelling value proposition in the market * Sales cycle can be challenging, which helps develop resilience and persistence * Compensation is competitive when hitting or exceeding targets, with solid accelerators beyond quota * Office perks such as meals provided can be a nice benefit

Cons

Quota attainment can be difficult depending on territory and how targets are set * Internal politics can impact opportunities and recognition * Culture can feel cliquey and inconsistent across teams * Limited upward mobility, with promotions not always aligned to performance * Product is better suited for enterprise, making some segments harder to succeed in * Ongoing enablement and resources can be lacking after initial onboarding * Frequent changes and turnover can create instability
