Pros

It's hard to talk about Tableau because I sound like an infomercial. It may just be the group I'm in, but this place goes above and beyond to meet the employee needs. I'm challenged, encouraged, work on cool stuff, actually love the product, and find that it's hard to meet a co-worker you wouldn't want to join for drinks. I love it here and feel incredibly lucky to have found this place.

Cons

You work hard here, and there are a lot of company sponsored events. I consider this a pro, but if you really, really hate travel and hanging out with co-workers, you might not.

Pros

Absolutely terrific Desktop product, fun and young energetic culture, great benefits, fully stocked kitchens, occasional catered lunches, fun internal company activities to mix things up, visionary CEO, very down to earth accessible management team, amazing company parties, this company is going places.

Cons

If you read all the reviews for Tableau you will see that the number one complaint is low pay, and it is 100% absolutely true. Base/commission is very low for this industry (competitor compensation easily 2x to 3x higher) especially when you consider the work you will be required to put in. Commission schedule is confusing and full of traps so make sure you ask to have it explained clearly to you before you start. Current revenue growth plan set by management is completely unsustainable and will result in front line sales team burn out and eventual turnover. Ever increasing sales team head count and territory size reduction is forcing sales reps to squeeze more out of less.
