Pros

Lots of smart, talented people who want to make a real impact, free food, great benefits, fun company parties, and 2 brand new buildings which are close to lots of restaurants and coffee shops. Close to the Burk Gilman Trail if you want to get out for a walk, run or bike ride.

Cons

Low pay and they don't provide stock options anymore, only RSU's. Lots of young managers who aren't qualified for that role. The early Tableau culture is no longer present, and much of the senior leadership was non existent. A lot of inefficiencies that don't seem to ever get resolved.

Pros

Fantastic company, great product, enthusiastic people. Market leading technology that customer's love---and Tableau loves its customers. Lots of upside for the business. Have done a great job of transitioning from perpetual licensing model to subscription.

Cons

Tableau has had a hard time branching out from just Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server (Online). There are other potential opportunities in Database, ETL, Advanced Analytics that Tableau has had a hard time developing products to address. Tableau has always said they want to be a 'product' company, and address these needs for their customers, but have a hard time executing that strategy.

Pros

Doesn't overwork people Treats people pretty kindly

Cons

Attrition becoming a big problem Cash compensation (salary+bonus) is low Didn't replace comp lost when stock lost 2/3rd of value Lots of technical debt at the company There is speculation they are trying to reduce headcount to prepare for a sale. Otherwise, what explains why they don't try to keep good, experienced people who are leaving?
