Pros

Pay is great. Work/Life balance is amazing! Tableau truly seems to care about its employees. They make all kinds of trainings and workshops available to us. Things like leadership training, manager trainings, interview trainings, an amazingly impressive diversity and inclusion training session, trainings on using our actual product. It's beyond what I've seen elsewhere. Employee stock purchase plan is essentially free money. Super flexible with scheduling - although I'd say most all tech companies are like this. I love having access to an actual kitchen to prepare my lunches. The work is interesting and engaging. I feel like we hire very genuinely kind, smart, and thoughtful people. Teams can run with quite a lot of autonomy. The company is very active in getting and reacting to feedback received from its employees. I feel like we have the ability to have our voices and opinions heard by those higher up than us. Lots of opportunity for lateral movement.

Cons

Although you start with 3 weeks of pto, It takes a while to reach the next bump (5 years) Coming from a world where I thought a 10 second build time was an eternity, the 1-3 hour builds here caught me really off-guard. That can be quite the pain point. Things are getting better, and there are ways to work around the tremendous build times, but it can also be really rough for some people.

Pros

Was in a great team full of fun and capable people. Always had the opportunity to drive projects so long as I could describe the need and defend the priority, which from my perspective was always done with mutual respect and inclusion. The company funds community-efforts, from having a paid day to give back to donation-matching and license donations to not-for-profits. Plenty of opportunity to learn new languages and technologies. My managers were very supportive and helpful. Great work/life balance in my team.

Cons

As always, lots to do, too few people to do it with. Technical debt was allowed to grow fairly large before there was a real response to it. At least there was a real response to it by the time I left.
