      Growing company with shrinking pay.

      Pros

      Great people Nice office Great product Nice managers Hard working people Supportive management Good orientation in Seattle Great customer conference

      Cons

      Use "growing" as an excuse for shrinking pay and unattainable quota. Territories shrink while quota increases Keep hiring which makes it harder to pay bills On target earnings are HUGE exaggerations. Use company "mission" as an excuse to not pay reps enough to survive in DC. People have larger territories but same quota making field very uneven and unfair. No upward mobility Pay is really bad You won't be able to pay bills

      First Sales Job... Great Company... Terrific Culture and Growth!!

      Pros

      Tableau has been a breathe of fresh air for my career. Like a lot of folks who join, I came from an older organization with an extremely traditional and bureaucratic business model. However, upon joining into Tableau, I was surrounded by entrepreneurial, smart, driven, fun, unique, engaged, and proud employees. I could go on and on, but bottom line, Tableau has what anyone would look for in a company: - Company growth and individual growth potential - A unified mission - Terrific health and personal benefits - A product that WORKS - Mentorship and investment in the individual - Stock Plan - International Assignments (optional) - Positive culture - Transparency across departments - Two-week orientation for ALL global new hires at its Seattle HQ - Engaging office workspaces - Resources to LEARN (esp. for someone new to sales!) To work at Tableau, you have to be willing to embrace challenge. You're not just a number or a number cruncher, nor a cog; rather, a valued employee whose insights, attitude, determination, and feedback matter.

      Cons

      Lots of reviews list Tableau's growth as a con. And sure, rapid growth in any space yields growing pains, but I would argue that's not a bad thing! In fact, that's why I (and others) joined the company to begin with - to engage and apply an entrepreneurial attitude. I don't expect things on a silver platter, but again, we're GROWING! Who's ever said, "I want to join a company that's shrinking."

      Pros

      Great people. Cool product. Nice managers. Hardworking people. Free healthcare. Good location. Great benefits (which are counteracted with HORRIBLE pay). Great 2 week orientation in Seattle. Nice office space.

      Cons

      Pay insulting. Even if you calculate in the benefits including the stock options/healthcare you will still take a significant pay cut unless you are coming from a minimum wage job. Success is never felt. You will not make EVEN CLOSE to "on target earnings." Pay is WELL below industry standards and they will try to sell you on the added value of the benefits which when you calculate them out don't even break even with the lack of pay. Territories continue to shrink even though people not even getting close to quota. Constantly use the excuse of "new office" and "growing company" to cover up for illogical and unattainable quota. If you're motivated by money and success do NOT work here. Delusional upper upper management. You will be poor and burned out after 1 month.
