Pros

Great place to work, lots of growth and opportunity for advancement, many smart people, very collaborative.

Cons

There isn't a smooth way to move between projects or teams in development. It's most effectively done along back channels rather than through a formalized process. There are also some growing pains with the company.

Pros

I’ve been here almost two years and still love my job and team as much today as I did when I first started. Though we have grown quickly, we have still been able to maintain our core values and transparency, which continue to set us apart from so many other companies. I have truly never worked with more humble-smart people in my entire life. Senior Leadership are very open and approachable. It is so impactful to see our CEO and CFO casually chatting with folks from all over the organization on a day-to-day basis. Tableau is not title-heavy and it’s very refreshing. Some misc. highlights: - Generous PTO - Fully-stocked kitchens - Great company parties and social events - Employees are given the opportunity to work at our annual customer conference (arguably the best in the industry) - Great work location in Fremont - Lots of training and career development opportunities - Volunteer opportunities through Tableau Foundation - Onboarding programs are best I’ve ever seen - Employee referral program is very generous

Cons

Opportunities: - 401(k) match is very low (only up to $1,500 annually) - Compensation is about middle-of-the-road and as stock is a significant part of that compensation, it can fluctuate
