Pros

- THE PEOPLE. Tableau does a great job at hiring people who are great to work with and are dedicated to their jobs. - Benefits. Fantastic health insurance, ESPP program makes up for the lame 401(k) match, free food is a great perk. - Interesting product and industry, company is growing and doing well. - Very nice buildings and facilities.

Cons

- Lack of career growth. Be prepared to stay in the role you were hired to do. And if you are offered a promotion, you will be low-balled on the salary. - Pay. Expect to make 20% less than your peers in other companies. This used to get slightly evened out by stock grants, but those have gotten much less generous. - Parking is a huge pain.

Pros

-Free Food (in lieu of a competitive market salary) -Work/Life Balance -Outstanding People and Product

Cons

-"Tech-Bro" Culture is cultivated by senior management that doesn't listen to diversity concerns from their employees. -Software Developers are treated like "data rockstars" while Support Engineers get treated like crap (in both pay and representation in the company) -Becoming a lot like Amazon (in both tyrannical business leadership [who are all Amazon rejects] and lack of morals) -You can make more money as a forklift driver in comparison to some of their engineering positions.

Pros

Great software. Good presales. Good stockprice. Good salary. Great education/bootcamp programme.

Cons

If you want to be micromanaged by incompetent mid management and you enjoy internal politics, then this could be a great place for you. Most employees are working in telesales type roles and therefore there is prevailing clock watching culture. At lunch, or during breaks, colleagues are constantly nervous about staying out too long as they need to be back at their desks. This culture is also spreading into more senior positions. Not a good place for a work/life balance. Your territory will determine if you are successful or not. You might get most of South Europe or the whole of Russia, or you might get a few boroughs of London. Tableau are hiring quickly, which means sales territories constantly shrink.
