Pros

- Great leadership team. They really know how to read the pulse of market and stay focussed. There is a right mix of internal focus to build on the strength and external focus to learn from the competition. - Company culture and values resonates with me. Team work and collaboration is encouraged over individual achievements. Performance reviews are just about how awesome you did but how helpful you were in others and team's success. - Great perks. Really good health insurance and ample free food and drinks. Great parties. Commuter subsidies. Not really comparable to Facebook or Google but better than most companies(read Amazon). - Good work-life balance. Some employees complain about rare crunch times but I guess they have not worked at Amazon or similar companies. I find work-life balance to be much better than both of my previous employers. - Companies mission is to help people see and understand data which is more meaningful to me than get people click the add to cart button.

Cons

- Career growth. There is great camaraderie among people who have been with company for very long and it appears that you got to be in the group to be recognized and promoted. There is no clear guidance on what your manager will be looking for in order for promotion. It just seem random. People from outside with lesser experience got hired on level above me. - Compensation. If you have accumulated equity before the IPO, you will not complain about this but I think the new employees are only compensated well if they have other competitive offers. If not, you would probably be compensated less than other major employers in the area. - Growth and learning. There are some great teams which work on cutting edge technologies but web and mobile are pretty slow and conservative to keep pace with development in tools and technologies.

Glad to hear you are having such a great time at Tableau! In regards to some of your items listed to work on, I would highly encourage you to either reach out to your manager or your local HR team to discuss in more detail career development opportunities within!

Pros

Tableau has a great atmosphere and company culture. The resources of a large company but the feeling of a tech start-up, its win-win. Our team is very young and everyone has different skills that they bring to the company. This fosters a feeling of information-sharing that I think it really unique. I feel like I learn something new every day, and I'm constantly amazed by my peers. The company itself places a huge emphasis on personal development and training so you can really focus on what you want to achieve here. Good horizontal and/or vertical movement within the company, with a lot of support from management. Good mix of value of individual achievement as well as team success.

Cons

Gaining weight from all the free food in the kitchen! Working at Tableau can be very fast-paced as its in a high-growth phase. Be prepared to ramp quickly and take on responsibilities when joining.
