Great Benefits, Growing Company

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Columbia, Maryland, United States

Pros: - I feel comfortable discussing and suggesting ideas to all levels of management. - Compensation was higher than other offers, but the real compensation is the benefits, for example, a flexible schedule and casual work environment. - Challenging opportunity in a rapidly growing field.

Cons: Name recognition. Not many people I communicate with have heard about Tenable or its products. Tenable is rapidly growing, but not enough to have that big name recognition yet. It seems like they have difficulty recruiting new people to meet the growing product demands. It is likely somewhat due to the location. I personally don't mind where it's located, but many people prefer to be located more closely to DC or Baltimore.
