Pros

The company has great products with high demand and good brand awareness. Working as a Sales Area Manager for nearly 3 years I have seen the team grow from around 20 to a 100 plus and management make the long serving employees feel appreciated, always willing to take advice and thoughts on how things are going. I know other people have had bad experience with the management team, certainly in EMEA (as most of the management have been externally hired and have less experience than the actual sales team!!) but overall very good - the kitchen with free food is a huge bonus.

Cons

Hours can be long - it's often frowned upon to leave any time before 6pm (even if you started at 7am!) - if you don't integrate well with the team and management (make yourself heard) you could find yourself out of the door very quickly (a few people were literally collected at their desk and asked to leave after failing probation) - but I would stress that this is not common - and most of the people thath ave been hired have been very successful.

Great entry-level job, limited compensation and career opportunities.

Pros

Great medical benefits, stock grants, annual bonuses (Sales), fully stocked kitchens, and amazing company parties! Team camaraderie is top-notch. This is the ideal first job out of college.

Cons

As mentioned by others, external hires are often much better compensated than those internally promoted. Additionally, executives appear to be in cash out mode, selling off their stock/options at every opportunity, negatively impacting those holding restricted shares. This isn't uncommon at "growth" Tech companies that have gone public, however, the degree of selling at Tableau is a bit sinister. Income/compensation inequality is definitely an issue.

Pros

Except for the parties and occasional free food that Tableau organizes for all the company, the group in Corp IT tends to not have as much budget or management to compare to other groups in the org. The overall culture at Tableau is great and you find awesome people to work with in other groups, however Corp IT appears to have fallen through the cracks and do not posses the same level of quality people

Cons

Lack of strong management, disgruntled, over worked team that will argue with you at every statement or opinion you make. This is found mainly in the Corp IT group (includes network engineering, server admins) - Helpdesk team is the exception as they are very helpful and have good personalities. *Encounter a lot of Type A personalities *Very week leadership willing to drive issues or communicate issues with upper management Unless your benefit package (including base and bonus) exceeds by a large margin your current salary, I would think twice before joining this team.
