Pros

- The support team is huge and friendly and can offer a lot of support for each engineer. - Performance dashboard is nice and clear so everyone can see what everyone is doing. - Onboarding process is generous and encourages engineers to fully learn in the first 6 months

Cons

- Possible Age Discrimination: New hire with 0 experience in BI (but with 10+ experience in a non-software industry) is immediately hired as "Technical Support Engineer"(TSE), while existing members with 5+ years of experience in software industry were titled "Associate Technical Support Engineer"(ATSE). Though a ATSE is doing the exact same job as TSE (and much better for some), the salary is degrading. What they care about is not related experience, but your AGE. - Tableau Server is a highly stressful software with constant P1 server down cases and escalation. The salary is not worth all the stress. There are many products that do not have a "server down" mania with much higher salary.

Pros

The product! First and foremost, getting to learn how to use the product and the ability to get certified for free in Tableau is an amazing opportunity. If you are lucky to have a good manager, Tableau is a great place to work. It has great benefits, great people, and a great foundation to build your career on. You have the opportunity to travel. You have access to a data structure that will teach you how good analytics software should work. They have a lot of programs for the employee benefit: Lyra Health, a hotline for minority employees to get help (not very helpful), employee groups…but they still struggle with DEI. But they are at least aware of what needs to happen and make an effort to be considerate/inclusive. Decent annual/quarterly planning.

Cons

I got stuck under two terrible managers back-to-back. One manager I reported to HR. I know of three other women that reported him to HR and they still protected him and gaslit us all individually. Although I was told I was exceeding expectations during performance reviews, I never received a raise or promotion. My career growth was stagnant here and I saw no way up rather than getting out, in which I was able to start at a new company making $30,000 more. Tableau was acquired by Salesforce, which is also still making it difficult to be at Tableau right now. Salesforce has a bit of a cringey culture that can be toxically positive. There are also obvious pay gaps between employees doing the same level of work but they’re able to make it acceptable by keeping underrepresented groups at lower levels. Some incompetent mid-level managers who are good at puffing their chests and using buzzwords.
