Vantaggi

Good Pay, Good Benefits, Used to have Remote Work Great job security unless you don't keep your head down near spiteful directors.

Svantaggi

Director level management and above is severely lacking. Blindly copies every move other companies do to bump the stock price. Layoffs in an unrelated firm? Layoffs at Tenable, even if Tenable is doing great. Hybrid work at other firms? Hybrid work there, for anyone within 40 miles of a hub, even if they've done the job great for years without being in an office. They're trying to bump stock price for the sole purpose of getting themselves acquired by a bigger company so they can get a nice payday and flee, just like the years long rush towards IPO. Some managers tend to form grudges and target layoffs and firings, to try and cut salary costs. Hiring is non-existent, overall faith in upper management decisions is low. Remote hiring is gone, local hiring lacks funds. Travel budget slashed. Tenable's products have vastly deceased in quality over the years, trying to hop on the latest fads and trends. Tenable products have become pricy upsells in search of a purpose, rather than products designed to accomplish a specific goal. As long as you toe the management line, it doesn't matter how much of a terrible job you do, nothing bad will happen to you and there will be no consequences. There are entire teams of employees at Tenable who routinely do a bad job and rely on other teams to clean up the mess they made in their bed. It doesn't pay to work for the cleaners.

Vantaggi

We can essentially use AI without any limit right now. The pay and compensation is industry leading but that's how they get you to stay.

Svantaggi

The engineering organization is technologically stagnant — from CI pipelines, to sec/ops practices and overall architecture, everything is locked into legacy practices with little room for outside perspectives. Attempts to introduce modern tools or new ideas are consistently met with resistance rather than curiosity. There's also a stark tenure gap. Most engineers leave within a year or two once they recognize the limited ability to drive change, while those who stay long-term — often 8+ years — have rarely worked outside this environment and lack exposure to broader industry practices.
