Pluspunten
* The Culture of respect - Tanium hires adults and treats their employees like adults, and values their time and efforts. They select for self-managing individuals. And those individuals include luminaries in the field with decades of expertise and an inability to ignore a call for help; should you happen across a problem you can't solve, chances are somebody knows what to do (or literally wrote the book on that) * The Technology - Tanium does things in a way that nobody else can. While the product has its rough edges, the technology is versatile and flexible to the point that I'm not honestly sure how I'd run a comprehensive Operations and Security program * The Company and the Customers - You don't leave Tanium because you want to work with bigger, more important organizations, they're already here. Tanium's customer list would justify its valuation alone at a typical startup, and yet the company is also profitable. Tanium is helping some of the largest organizations in the world accomplish their strategic objectives, and is positioned to do so long term. Unlike many tech companies, I can see my self sticking around for the long haul too.
Minpunten
* All Remote - Tanium has a relatively small physical footprint in a few select cites across the States, thus most employees work remotely 100% of the time. For me this is no issue, but does mean we rely significantly on digital communication and your ability to self-manage. * By Engineers for Engineers - It is clear this is a company built by engineers for engineers. It allows for an incredible amount of innovation and flexibility in terms of the technical solutions the company delivers, but expertise is often assumed. It's a known issue, and is something they're working on across the board. * Nobody will know where you work (maybe that's a positive?). I've only met one person who knew what I was talking about when I mentioned where I work, and that was because they drove past the corporate office on their commute. If you're looking for the nerd cred of working for a FANG, you won't get that here.
