Pros

- THE PEOPLE. Tableau does a great job at hiring people who are great to work with and are dedicated to their jobs. - Benefits. Fantastic health insurance, ESPP program makes up for the lame 401(k) match, free food is a great perk. - Interesting product and industry, company is growing and doing well. - Very nice buildings and facilities.

Cons

- Lack of career growth. Be prepared to stay in the role you were hired to do. And if you are offered a promotion, you will be low-balled on the salary. - Pay. Expect to make 20% less than your peers in other companies. This used to get slightly evened out by stock grants, but those have gotten much less generous. - Parking is a huge pain.

Pros

-Free Food (in lieu of a competitive market salary) -Work/Life Balance -Outstanding People and Product

Cons

-"Tech-Bro" Culture is cultivated by senior management that doesn't listen to diversity concerns from their employees. -Software Developers are treated like "data rockstars" while Support Engineers get treated like crap (in both pay and representation in the company) -Becoming a lot like Amazon (in both tyrannical business leadership [who are all Amazon rejects] and lack of morals) -You can make more money as a forklift driver in comparison to some of their engineering positions.

Pros

Innovative company that had a great reputation while they were in there hay day before they had challenges meeting revenue goals. Some departments are still unaffected by poor management so there are opportunities to thrive. Perks can be good but have dwindled to almost nothing and certainly no longer compete with other companies of similar nature. Really Good health benefits.

Cons

The turnover that has happened in the last 20 months has brought the entire marketing division to their knees. The old school management that has been there since the beginning has no vision for taking the company from a start up to a more mature company and continues to add more and more work to team members plates with no room for new ideas and frankly seems to live by the mentality of, doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results. The work load is beyond anything you would expect and you are constantly spinning your wheels on projects that haven’t been vetted and grasping for any real direction, information on how certain strategic initiatives measure back to company priorities, etc. The environment use to be fun, impactful and vibrant however now it’s just a lot of overworked people looking for other opportunities which with all the turnover due to diminished moral just makes for more work. The attempt to rally employees with food and booze no longer works in this toxic environment.
