Tenable Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Having RSUs and free gym

Review from Engineering Dept

Health insurance and pension and paid time off

Review from Customer Success Dept

Medical Benefits, Flexibility, Bonus and Stocks

Review from Engineering Dept

Health and Dental insurance plans. I love the Stocks as well.

Review from Customer Support Dept

I like that Tenable splits up the bonus and pays out every quarter. The RSU's are also a great perk.

Review from HR Dept

The best part of the compensation package is the long-term security. The salary is competitive, but the pension scheme and bonus structure are particularly appealing. It shows the company invests in my financial future, offering a strong incentive to grow here over many years, which is my main goal.

Review from Customer Success Dept

that we get free therapy

Review from Sales Dept

Competitive rate, Commission, Leaders are cool!

Review from Sales Dept

feel like we are paid well quarterly

Review from Sales Dept

The pay is awesome, RSUs are awesome, ESPP will be awesome, health insurance and other perks are awesome. What is there not to love?

Review from Sales Dept

Commission structure and earning potential

Review from Customer Success Dept

above market average for overall compensation & amount off PTOs

Review from IT Dept

Healthcare for me and my family is a great benefit.

Review from Customer Success Dept

It is competitive with both stock options and a RSUs

Review from Customer Support Dept

That it seems reasonable to achive

Review from IT Dept

RSUs are the best part

Review from Marketing Dept

Getting the bonus paid out quarterly.

Review from IT Dept

it is a standard compensation package nothing above and nothing bellow, RSU's are good since they reward you while at the same time providing ownership and motivation

Review from IT Dept

I'm satisfied with my salary and overall compensation. Of course, there's always room to want more, but to be fair, what I receive is more than fair.

Review from Engineering Dept

Everything - it is very generous.

Review from HR Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I feel that my base salary could be a little bit higher. The benefits and RSU's make up for it.

Review from IT Dept

i have only received one small merit raise and I have been here 3 years.

Review from Marketing Dept

I made it to Platinum Club and have shown incredible work ethic, adaptability and resilience in my role. I feel as though I should be rewarded fairly to market conditions against my current Total OTE package...

Review from Sales Dept

A newcomer to the company started on the same base salary and I am his manager. I have been offered roles from other companies as an individual contributor with a larger base salary than I am currently on. Feels external candidates have a better chance of negotiating salary than existing employees

Review from Sales Dept

I feel that my compensation is below the industry average for my country and region. I raised it and got no feedback which was disappointing. I just want to be heard and I wasn't.

Review from Sales Dept

Other cybersec companies pay 20-30% more for the same position.

Review from Sales Dept

for the experience and level of work I manage and areas I support, I think it could be reflected more positively

Review from Product Dept

I would prefer a more competitive salary that matches other high performing tech companies, and more incentives for existing employees to grow within the company

Review from Legal Dept

Work-life balance is not horrible during the planning, and herculean efforts are not recognized. We are often asked to do more with less. They do not pay out PTO to employees if they leave the company. Also, it is hard to get promoted since the budget is only dedicated to sales.

Review from Operations Dept

1) I've been bounced from manager to manager, and have not had anyone strongly advocate for my performance -- even though I contend the results speak volumes. 2) As an older employee, I cynically believe management knows I am unlikely to jump ship. A 10% raise and 5% bonus increase would be great.

Review from Marketing Dept

I feel as my compensation to start was a little low for my experience and expertise. I find the PTO and Sick days to be somewhat lacking compared to other companies I have worked at as well.

Review from Engineering Dept

I need to be warned by my supervisor before I loose my benefits

Review from Engineering Dept

Since my manager has left, I am helping out the whole team. Anyone above me has mentioned the possibility to let me apply for the senior role (while I am clearly showing I could do that). I read this as a lack of trust. Also, there hasn't been any economical recognition for me doing double of work.

Review from Sales Dept

get pay rise and bonus and promotion

Review from Sales Dept

They don't pay out accrued time off if you leave or are let go.

Review from Operations Dept

if i do get paid more and compared to competition

Review from Operations Dept

It's not about being undervalued - it's just that the base salary range is a bit off according to profile in my humble opinion

Review from Marketing Dept

the feedback I get from my managers is not satisfying for me. higher base salary

Review from Engineering Dept

Just by comparing salaries and benefits with other cybersecurity companies, I find that we are slightly on the low side

Review from Marketing Dept

I do feel that my compensation is lower than what I would get at other companies.
