Great company in transition

Pros

Tableau is in a very interesting position currently. Changing leadership during the last years has had positive impacts on the company prospects and changes made make it easier to sell. Great market potential here in Germany with growing momentum. Leadership is capable and line management is supportive in coaching on deals etc.

Cons

Still rather immature sales organization. Processes are sometimes cumbersome and time consuming.

Pros

* It doesn't take much ambition to be well regarded here. Prepare to shine amidst mediocrity. * Work-life balance is easy to achieve especially if you're among the many who own nothing important and live in production. * Nice benefits and loads of free food/snacks. * Good gig right out of university and potentially to maintain green card status. * Markets itself well as a workplace and product. Strong brand. * A good product for a certain slice of use cases (20%). * Dope office location and buildings in Fremont. * A solid flare of individuality around the office. * College campus 2.0. You can easily find your people here if that's your prerogative. * Good values.

Cons

Welcome to a company trying to be a SaaS and having no idea how to execute or support that effort. * Low pay. Laughably low for many engineering roles. * Operations is a joke; stuck in a bygone Sys Admin era. DevOps? What's that? * Dev talent here is few and far between. * Pockets of bro-culture. * New products are lackluster. * Clunky product for 80% of use cases. Real-time nothing. Visually repulsive compared to a library like d3 or even Power BI. * Super expensive product considering competition. * There's way more middle-management in-fighting and jockeying than you'd ever know as an IC. * Senior management might as well live on the moon. So very disconnected.

Not worth it

Pros

Great paid health benefits. RSUs that vest fairly quickly. Yearly bonus is nice too. The offices offer a lot of free food and snacks.

Cons

Weirdest interview process ever. Very difficult on boarding process. Training is lackluster with no unified processes for helping new hires be successful. Pay is low!! I’m not kidding. You will not get paid what you’re worth here. It’s a company wide policy. High turnover and they’re constantly hiring to fill those lost positions.
