Pros

Friendly atmosphere which permeates from the top down. Nobody's ego appears to be getting the way of getting the job done. I get to work on cool stuff that regularly shows up in our big product demos. Despite hiring a ton of new people in the past couple years, company has managed to retain most of its older engineering workforce; they've all been very knowledgeable and helpful. This company throws the best parties. Tableau Conference is a blast; people inside and outside the company always seem genuinely excited about the product & seeing new features. This was by far the most generous compensation package I was offered out of three companies when I took the job. Don't know how it still compares, and the stock price took a huge hit this year, but still seems really good. Work-life balance is great compared to some other local software giants. I work a 40-hour week and have never taken flak for it.

Cons

Difficult for some in leadership to shake bad habits/practices they learned at Microsoft. Still not sure how we're going to complete with Power BI, which is cheap or free & good enough for a lot of our potential customers. Some of the build and test infrastructure wasn't ready for a giant influx of new people; that still slows us down.

Pros

Fun people at work, food in kitchen, no micromanagement

Cons

Growing pains. Competitors are catching up and it is hurting the company. Much of compensation was based on stock which just plummeted and does not seem that it will go back to what it used to be anytime soon.
