Great company, great product, great people -

Pros

Its rare that you find a company with an awesome product that really works, customers love and everyone who works here is committed to. Also, there are lots of other perks like beautiful offices, unlimited free food and fun events but the best part of being here is working on a great product with a great team.

Cons

While our benefits are exceptional, sometimes salaries are just ok but not as competitive; also we are going through growing pains

Great company & team, difficult decision to leave

Pros

- Amazing product, very fun to demo/sell/teach - Good work-life balance - Opportunities for professional development and learning related technologies - Hard work was recognized and rewarded - Free food - Phenomenal health care benefits

Cons

Some people say the pay is low, but I never felt unfairly compensated. I did not leave the company because I was discontent; I left because another company approached me with an unexpected opportunity that was the right move for my career -- an opportunity that was only available to me because of the skills I had gained at Tableau.

No longer a startup - start acting like it

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Great products with (some) smart features continually added; Good benefits. Friendly co-workers and a good office atmosphere; passionate customer base. Mgmt is interested in making data-based decisions.

Cons

Data-based decisions don't always mean you should ignore what's right in front of your face. Compensation for many is barely liveable, esp in Puget Sound area. The company has tried to get by for too long on low pay for the "privilege" of working there. Over-reliance on stock-based comp. Dev needs to focus more on quality rather than piling on new data sources.
