Pros

Great product, some really driven people in parts of the company. Not alot of red tape. People want to do the right thing not alot of politics. All the advantages of a Software company. Willing to spend money on tooling. Tool bloat isnt terrible.

Cons

the hyper growth really hurt the quality you either lack quality SMEs or have people covering too many hats so they cant focus on making one thing great. Its a painful time to be at tableau but if you stick it out you can hopefully say you did something great.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to make a significant difference. A skilled person could make themselves indispensable and advance in a relatively short period of time. Great office facilities and work environment.

Cons

Significant tech debt, especially in the developer workflow. 2 clashing cultures/styles (old microsoft and new "internet") which has hindered progress in addressing some fundamental issues but progress is being made. To many technical implementation decisions made at a level above where the actual work is done without adequately consulting or including subject matter experts. This tends to result in poor expectation setting which potentially sets one up for failure and certainly can be frustrating but ultimately can be overcome if one is vocal enough.
