Satisfying Place to Work

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The products are excellent and the roadmap for future improvements is genuinely exciting. The engineering staff is top notch - you get to work with really bright people without egos getting in the way. The (rapidly growing) customer base is almost fanatical in their love of the product. Work/life balance is achievable here compared to most places. What you do here actually matters - people are going to use and depend on what you build.

Cons

Late stage startup so if you are looking for a garage startup where there is no technical baggage or a huge company where you can just hide and slack, this isn't it.

Pros

The product is phenomenal. Fiscally responsible. Greater transparency w/in Tableau than any company I've worked for. Smart people. Culture of integrity. Management team (both exec and mid level) that you want to win for.

Cons

Running a fiscally conservative startup means trade offs - wha wha. Small, rapidly growing company means change is frequent, though decision making is strong. Not a place to work if you just want to show up.

Tableau is a great place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Great software and a great mission. Customers love the software and the company is very well run. Executives in every department are intelligent and capable.

Cons

Resources are constrained since it is a conservatively run startup. I think management generally makes good choices about how to allocate the scarce resources, but it's still the toughest part.
