Pros

Tableau has a great technology and a great customer base. The reputation in the marketplace is one of success and transformation, which makes it a great company to represent to the marketplace. If you are in a technical or support position, it's great.

Cons

Compensation is low, the pressure is painfully high and the sales attainment rates are low. Management is growing the company and satisfying Wall Street, without any regard for the success of individual contributors. The sales teams with the best accounts and territories see great success, the rest suffer with unrealistic expectations and under-performance.

Pros

Tableau has a fun, transparent, and most importantly *collaborative* culture. People are smart and they work hard here. There's energy and optimism in the air because we all believe in the leadership and our products. An innovative company that emphasizes R&D to extend their market-leading position - this is a company that's dong all the right things. Where I came from previously, departments battle each other and managers are more concerned with building their own fiefdoms than putting company/customers' interests ahead (sound familiar?) and I can honestly say I haven't seen a trace of that here. I always thought one of those "best companies" to work for published in various articles only exist in silicon valley; I can't believe I'm actually working for one. Pinch me, I must be dreaming....

Cons

Tableau does not pay the highest salary. Unless you're a rock $tar $oftware engineer, then you can write your own golden ticket.
