Pluspunten

The new hire training is really strong, you feel fully tuned up and confident. The technical teams are first rate, smart and helpful. The technology feels relevant and game changing. Benefits and package is good and I'd say in the higher end of competitive. It has won great places to work and for many it likely is, not sales.

Minpunten

Unless you get existing accounts (and you won't) then very few, probably less than a third, of people do their number. And from those that do then they'll have gone for over a year earning *nothing* (maybe 1% close something significant in year 1 and that is probably a because someone else who left did the hard yards before you). Many of sales and sales ops verge on bullying and play political games - it's a about opportunity assessment and qualification but it'll invariably end up with you getting a beat down and launched underneath a bus. Leaders aspire to be John McMahon and the process is fine, the execution is oppressive. They flip flop from what they want to be - is it security, is it operations - and suffer from a Jack of all Trades syndrome and a huge lack of identity and name recognition in both. If you leave for a leader in one of these area then ready the attorney as they can be rather litigious. Check the contract, you get IPO stock but likely with a caveat they can take them or force you to sell them at a price they determine. I was never actively encouraged to write +ve review here but it seems suspicious just how many appear after a bad review, like this, to push it waaaay down. Or maybe people write them in their first 6 months (mine would have been great) but when the reality hits and you don't see the money and the QBR heavy tackles start to come in. There wasn't enough opportunity to go around 12-18 months ago, now they have hired a LOT of new sales people. Their hiring process is long, and I wish I had taken the time to contact people in sales previously who had left on LinkedIn, I sort of didn't want to know and convinced myself I'd just be successful like I always had been and "look loads of great reviews all within 10 days of each other, that's not weird at all it's legit".

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
