      Great Culture, but Serious Growing Pains

      Pros

      People are attracted to and want to work at Tableau because of the people and rightfully so. The people are great and there is a huge investment in the new hires. Tableau seems to maintain collaboration successfully on a global scale. The health benefits are also great.

      Cons

      New management at all levels is causing the company to face some setbacks as they transition into the new phase of Tableau. They pay significantly lower than other tech companies in Seattle... its no secret. Tableau seems to generate a lot of great talent, but keeping that talent is a struggle they are currently facing.

      Pros

      The people at Tableau are awesome. The people I worked with were fun, thoughtful, laid-back, helpful, and smart. Company makes an effort to listen to its employees and respond to their needs. For example, they changed our quota structure after several reps and managers had shared w/ upper management about some issues we were having. Managers very receptive and responsive to feedback. Company invests heavily in your professional development. The best training I've had in my career came at Tableau. Tableau offers a lot of perks -- great company parties, team outings, regular contests, etc. Customers LOVE Tableau. It's energizing to be working for a company that customers love. It also helps in sales. Despite note hitting quota very often, I still felt like I got paid pretty well. I got a salary bump while I was there, cashed in about $3,000 in stock after the first year, and was still able to make decent commision. Benefits are great too.

      Cons

      This isn't necessarily a con w/ Tableau, but inside sales is brutal. The Sales Area Manager, Acquisition role (aka Account Executive) is a grind. It was hard for me to hit my quota and thus collect the amount of commission I would've liked. During my short time there, there were a lot of acquisition reps in the DC office who struggled to hit their number. But, again, upper management and the sales managers and directors did everything they could to help struggling reps meet their quotas and get paid. Me not hitting quota is not necessarily a reflection on Tableau, but I think it's important for people interested in working in sales at Tableau to be aware of.

      Pros

      in past years it used to be a sweet office. no management interfering with your daily routine and you can do whatever you want, basically. still the same, but then nothing gets done and quality of work sucks. pay reflects this work.

      Cons

      Some people need management. With no managers nothing gets done. Yeah its nice to not be pushed to have more productivity but on a team of slackers it gets depressing. I did not have to try to be a top performer, i just did work. Now everyone realizes pay is 50% of market rate in support and they are announcing promotions that DID NOT HAPPEN. Management blames upper management and we never get an answer for why people are stuck in entry level work and why people are leaving for double-triple the pay elsewhere.
