Pros

Great Product. Passionate Colleagues. I feel empowered by management to pursue projects that I feel will help me professionally and to develop my career. As someone who has been with the company for a few years I feel respected and valued.

Cons

I don't feel that there are good career opportunities to be promoted from within. The company is growing extremely quickly but they are mostly hiring managers externally. I fear that Tableau is growing so fast that I will be forgotten, that I will feel less and less valued as my role is marginalized. Compensation seems below market rate. Tableau's financial strategy seems extremely conservative. I am a little concerned about their ability to retain talent.

Pros

The company is very focused on helping others and being good stewards. The Tableau Foundation donates money and software to various non-profits and we get one paid day to volunteer and a place of our choice. There are also some contribution matching programs that I personally have not looked into yet. The benefits package get better every year, HR is very responsive to your needs and I wish I had our product 10 years ago when I was doing a lot of reporting. The work life balance is important to management and while you may have deadlines it wont be 50hr+ a week constantly like some other tech companies. My wife says I'm not allowed to leave Tableau because our insurance is so good.

Cons

Compensation is a bit weak, it appears to assume that the stock will do well to balance out with other companies. Growing so fast can lead to growing pains where things were done quick rather than correct.
