Pros

Tableau is a great software. People love our product. Tableau's bootcamp is great, our SKO and yearly conference are very well planned and executed.

Cons

I've been working for a few months on the LATAM team here at Tableau, and I regret having made the decision to join this team. Managers, Directors and VP's should be people that truly care about your career success and make you feel empowered. Unfortunately, they are individuals that joined the company at an early stage and got promote into management which is a usual mistake companies make. Their idea of management is super old school. They lead based on fear, they don't allow you to have a work life balance, and they simply don't bring anything positive to the table. Most partners have warned me to never bring my superiors to any onsite client meetings. For people looking to join a LATAM team, I would advise you not to look at Tableau as a possible employer. Lastly, their compensation package is very bad in comparison to other tech companies.

Pros

Flexible schedules + great product. The product selling itself will only get the company so far....pretty much good for a resume boost and that's it.

Cons

Weird culture. Middle management is an absolute joke. The business model of promoting people to being people managers when they have zero ability or proven record of being successful is awful. Upper management for some areas is clueless. There is rapid turnover rate. Working there was a real disappointment from initial impressions.

Pros

Excellent analytics platform that is a market leader and is passionately loved by its customers. Amazing culture in place of humble, smart people. Compelling growth in revenues, margins and employees year over year (YoY).

Cons

Seattle centric company that makes is difficult for remote employees to move up despite rockstar performance. Except for a token Asian EVP, no diversity in executive ranks in North-America which is a competitive dis-advantage. Top Talent of color find it extremely difficult to be considered for executive ranks or promotions. Promises re: upward mobility and resources made at hiring are not kept despite exceptional performance.
