Pros

Great CEO, great product, nice colleagues. Great vibe and culture - as long as you're in a department other than sales.

Cons

The mgmt culture of the sales team is highly toxic - high control, low trust. If you're considering a sales job with Tableau, don't be fooled by the marketing on the website about the wonderful culture and being voted one of the best places to work. That's probably true for other departments within the company, but not sales. So unless you like being micromanaged and berated on a daily basis, give this company a miss.

Pros

- People tend to be kind, collaborative, helpful and interested in building a truly useful tool in line with Tableau's mission - Developers are involved in the whole process of a project. We have a say in what gets done and how we do it; it's not just one-way orders from management to you. - Everyone in Development is invited to the annual Tableau Conference, which is fun and exhausting and a great opportunity to meet users excited about Tableau - Avocados :)

Cons

- Growing pains. E.g., knowledge is concentrated in a handful of people who have been there for a long time but is poorly documented for everyone else - Teams are spread across locations, which can make for less effective communication - Demographic breakdown that you might expect from a tech company. There are a few employee-made groups to support underrepresented or marginalized groups internally but we could be better about who we include and how we include them on a company level - Not much communication between Dev organization and others (e.g., Sales, Support) who would likely have helpful input

Pros

A great product - company has great potential if led appropriately. if ou are looking for a great starting point in your career - great to add it to your resume.

Cons

The Development team has alot more focus on their own development and get the financial and leadership support for this. The other teams (sales/marketing operations) do not get or have this leadership.
