Tenable Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Activities to interact with the rest of the company

Review from Customer Success Dept

Support and Collaboration among the co-workers it's amazing. I never worked in a place like this... It really makes the difference

Review from Engineering Dept

Great culture on collaboration and the company does provide great hardware (Apple/Jabra/Logitech)

Review from Customer Support Dept

I enjoy the frequent volunteer activity and lunches. Having fun social outings like Turkey Bowl to look forward to is also really great. It seems as though employee appreciation is baked into the culture and everyone is very approachable.

Review from HR Dept

The most positive aspect is the collaborative and inclusive environment. Everyone is highly supportive, fostering a 'we're in this together' attitude, rather than competition.

Review from Customer Success Dept

I love that Tenable always has events for employees to show appreciation for our hard work.

Review from IT Dept

the people, everyone is lovely

Review from Sales Dept

Tenable genuinely cares for its employees! My immediate manager, Garrett Cook makes all the difference on my experience here at Tenable.

Review from Sales Dept

How welcoming everyone has been to me since the day I started.

Review from HR Dept

the people are amazing - all the way to managers and execs

Review from Sales Dept

I have never worked for a place that really embraces making you feel well, focuses on mental health, and really cares about their employees.

Review from Sales Dept

positive, collaborative and inclusive culture.

Review from IT Dept

I feel like Tenable is a family, everyone is here to support each other and I also feel that I can approach anyone from any area of the business and they will be willing to engage and offer their support. It really is a great culture.

Review from Customer Success Dept

The emphasis on legitimate collaboration & help.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Everbody is treated equal and we can rely on each other

Review from IT Dept

We have a shared vision we are marching toward.

Review from Marketing Dept

It is intangible but the people and the positive attitude of everyone. It is the best corporate culture I have worked in.

Review from IT Dept

Diverse, inclusive and the One mentality, since arriving I've needed the support from many teams and everyone is always willing to help and work through complex issues with open mindness

Review from IT Dept

everyone likes each other, no obvious back stabbing to get ahead

Review from Marketing Dept

The People team does a great job of organizing events that make the office a place I actually want to come to—not just for work, but to enjoy the atmosphere. Professionally, I feel fortunate to be surrounded by very talented peopl

Review from Engineering Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

More flexibility in the work-from-home policy. Paying out PTO to employees if they leave the company. The ability to travel for professional development. Merit performance needs to increase and is always significantly lower than inflation.

Review from Operations Dept

Overall, from a higher end it's awesome and I love it. Few points - Ensure that you have at least a person with core technical competencies when hiring for a specific role say performance. - It would be good practice to have an HR round that helps filter out unprofessional attitude or behaviour

Review from Engineering Dept

kindness, no discrimination, no superior tone

Review from Marketing Dept

less zoom more office. when people are physically close together they become more close in other levels which improve discussions and destination making

Review from Engineering Dept

There are certain toxic elements in the management and leadership change that need to be removed.

Review from Engineering Dept

The company culture would be much better if there was a real focus on defining product vs letting some high level vision and then engineering defining that vision

Review from Engineering Dept

It's time for a complete shake-up. Eliminate VPs, directors, and managers that do nothing (you folks know who these are). The Clueless "managerial gentry" class has bloated to obscene levels. Engineers and researchers need to be empowered to make decisions. Reduce the bloat and it will happen.

The customers want to sacrifice accuracy for reports that nothing is wrong. Do not allow this.

Employees across departments should be treated equally, they are not.

Plane to deal with tech debt vs always pushing for new features.
