Pros
- Industry leading product that’s beloved by customers (sometimes they hug us at our annual convention!) - Interesting business problems are solved all over the world and in every industry using Tableau - Expanding product portfolio includes data prep, metadata management, in-memory database, and improving enterprise features - Rapid pace of agile innovation with quarterly releases introducing new features - Higher-quality software releases than many in the tech industry (not perfect, but release quality is solid) - Progressive, liberal corporate values for most roles - come as you are, dress as you feel comfortable (visible tattoos and pink hair OK in some roles) - it’s more about your character, productivity, customer-focus, and creativity than “how you look” here (sales and consulting roles are always going to be somewhat of an exception to this) - Colorful, fun corporate culture with company and team events, fitness challenges, and other spirit-building activities that aren’t as common at larger software companies - “Humble smart” culture of talented, intelligent people with a spirit of servitude and empowerment of each other — there is far less attitude and ego here than in many large corporate environments, and the culture is one of being willing to selflessly pitch-in
Cons
- Cash compensation is frequently below the industry norm for many roles, although some roles make up for it with RSUs - 401(k) match is below other large software vendors - Interview process can be difficult / challenging
