Cons

Short staffed - but we are hiring!!

Pros

A salary and training resources.

Cons

There are really what everybody has mentioned already. Before you join the company ask yourself if it is worth for you to do so, it might be but take into consideration all bad previews. There are not fake. I learned about it hard way. Forget about work-life balance, you will not be getting days off after weekend shift or working during Bank Holiday. You will get money though. You will be asked to work over hours too. Then employees that will be working over hours will have better statistics which is look better compared to those that do not work over hours. And statistics is what you are there. Even when you are off, you will be getting cases, since the idea is that will will come from your holiday on a given day. So going on holiday is not a good idea either, since you will constantly getting cases even when not at work, just to find out that a day before you got 15 cases or so. The company tries to employ as few employees as possible... During my time there one year. I had 4 managers. During one years 4 colleagues left out of 14 or so. When you join the company and meet people that have been there longer than 2 years, there are not many of them, have respect for them, they have managed all what you will see in bad reviews. Before you join the company ask somebody that interviews you about rotation. AVOID this question if you want to get the job, the interviewer with certainty will not know how to answer this question, or if answers, you can compare that what I have seen, it has not changed really for years. I will just include subjects of other posts, just in case they might disappears one day. -"Don't even touch with a 100 feet long stick" -"Horrible place to work" -"A new low" -"Avoid at all costs, you have been warned........" -"Horrible" -"Terrible Culture" -"One, big disappointment!" - "eh" -mismanagement of talent and fear based management. -"Political" -"A Smoke Screen" -"Listen to the bad reviews. They are not fake." -"Company Culture...Not So Good" -"Nobody is happy"

Pros

Nice people, good company culture, opportunity for advancement.

Cons

Very few women working in technical positions, call center based.

Pros

Company culture allows managers, Directors, and VPs to pursue whatever goals they wish. The media image of this company is spotless. I learned that a successful company is one that is marketed and sold better than the competition. This company is currently in the right place at the right time. No meaningful competitors that can serve as a single source for similar functionality. When an issue gets raised by enough people, there is an effort to resolve it. There are many very smart people dotted throughout the organization. Casual business atmosphere. Knows how to get ranked as a best place to work, or any other comparison to gain attention. Interviewees have a good chance of being hired, as the company is growing. Despite challenges, always manages to climb to new heights.

Cons

Company culture allows managers, Directors, and VPs to pursue whatever goals they wish. This company doesn't fire employees, they fire departments. Ask them if they have a QA department this month. Documentation, compliance, procedures, and planning are non-existent across organizational boundaries. Could be a problem if they were ever acquired or attempted to IPO. Inter-department cooperation can be difficult. Project Management is non-existent. Strong opinions regarding vendors and technology along with constant power grabs make simple projects more complicated than they should be at a small company. After spending millions to onboard VPs, the same amount of work is being performed, with even less coordination. Witnessed a VP in a hockey jersey spitting sunflower seeds into a red solo cup while dressing down an employee. Classy place! Lack of a designated operations department means simple business processes are scattered across multiple entities. e.g. Shipping a package, corporate cell phone administration, remote office logistics, or even shuffling employee seating can be hilariously difficult. Frustrating lack of direction in some departments, leading to some back and forth on projects. Long term-strategy is missing. Do-overs are a waste of time. Customer Feedback regarding features and usability should be taken seriously. I've never understood why Customer Support doesn't riot. Products stubbornly cling to the concept of IPs for both functionality and licensing. Host-level functionality and licensing might make more sense. I believe Sales and QA were more effective 2 years ago. Both concern me. Any information pointing out a negative is publicly refuted, then quietly handled afterwards. Company suffers from extreme paranoia - this affects vendor selection, and calls employee loyalty into question needlessly. Company throws itself at unproven non-performers with well written resumes. Hiring is about quantity, not quality. Repackaging lesser products over and over isn't a strategy. It feels like turnover is increasing, with some notable members of staff beginning to vacate. Taught others; Learned very little.

Pros

The bad weighs out the good

Cons

Tenable use to have a great reputation for their company culture. It was one of the reasons why I wanted to be employed with them. Since they have become a public company, the culture has changed drastically.

Pros

I've been with the company for under a year and I can already see myself working for Tenable for the long haul. The people are incredibly kind and everyone looks to build one another up. I feel my team's true and good intentions to help me succeed and most importantly, succeed as a part of my department. We have fun and joke with one another, but hold each other accountable for our own individual efforts. The company culture is fantastic and I feel like I can come to my job everyday feeling valued, appreciated, and respected. Great benefits, moving into new headquarters soon, flexible work from home if needed depending on your role/manager

Cons

Some people work 100% remote so it can be tough to connect with colleagues, but we use Zoom video conferencing and Slack to communicate quickly!

Pros

Good company culture and great family vibes with everyone (Especially the tech support team!) Have great confidence in the product.

Cons

the life of being in the company really falls on the manager that's managing, and on my case, it's just wasn't working out even when issues were brought up. Love the company, enjoyed working with different departments in the small but cozy office and wish to have stayed longer, but if no one is helping you, it's up to you to help yourself.

Pros

First off, let me say that some of these positive reviews are legitimate. The office in Dublin, in particular, is a great place to work based on talking to those employees. But the company pushes hard to maintain high ratings on sites like this, and it's clear that some of these reviews are being written by HR/Recruiters/Managers to try and outweigh the negative reviews. That said, the health insurance benefits are great. There are a lot of other cool "perks" of working there too. If you're near HQ in Columbia you can win tickets to Orioles and Ravens games and to special events. There is an annual summer picnic and winter party that is super cool. The pay for some positions is very fair, but for others, it's really awful. If you accept an offer, do so after comparing the offer to similar companies in the area. The office is modern with some nice amenities like free snacks, and gaming consoles/MAME tables. Coworkers are a mixed bag. The large majority of Engineers are smart and good to work with, and you'll likely learn about. The management will be discussed in the Cons section.

Cons

Realistically, I wouldn't consider any review that is more than 6 months old to be accurate. Upper management has had a ton of changes recently, and the company is not what it used to be. Most departments are running short-handed, and in many teams, overtime is an expectation. The company "culture" that remains is superficial, and just to try and get newcomers to believe that it's still an awesome place to work that has all the typical benefits and amenities of a start-up company. Recently, the company has been "letting go" of a good number of people. It started in marketing, but a few days ago the whole QA team was either let go or given new roles. This means that the only QA that occurs is done within the development teams, which is not ideal for a security product that customers have come to rely on. Of course, since these aren't "lay offs" in the classical sense, the expected severance of such an event has not been given to the employees impacted. The most recent group was given two weeks to find something else internally, but of the roles available, many of them are at a significant pay cut. Most teams have been overworked for some time. The Support team is particularly impacted. They have been running short staffed for over a year now, and as work expectations have increased twofold or more, the amount of pay they're offering has decreased. Managers are freaking out and micromanaging the staff there. Where once Support was a stepping stone into other teams at Tenable, it has turned into something to endure for a year so your resume looks good enough for you to make more money elsewhere. Based on what I've heard from friends on that team, that's literally the only reason to accept an offer. HR is a nightmare. Don't go to them with anything expecting them to help you out. Tips to success: keep your head down, do what you're told, and avoid showing any signs of weakness. The company is clearly aiming to sell as much as possible with no plan to support or maintain it. The large majority of new hires are in sales, and that's already an enormous percentage of the staff. They used to want to hire the best people to make the best product; now they're riding on reputation and after the subscriber numbers.

Pros

There are lots of things to reward and take care of employees

Cons

rapid growth is deteriorating the previous company culture that made it so great. The senior management is very dis-organized and communication is not clear.

Pros

- Interesting work that has real significant in the security landscape. - Good benefits and flexible schedule, half of the company is remote. - Cool IT infrastructure (<3 ESX)

Cons

- Remote employees are not particularly well integrated into the company culture. - Salaries seems low relative to market.
