Pros

Tableau has a great culture that brings in many like minded people with many different skill sets. Everyone seems to want to make the company better and pitch in wherever they can, which is easy to thrive off of.

Cons

In any growing company there is a lot of work to be done, and you must be willing to pick up new roles and responsibilities in order to keep things running. This can often lead to new opportunities though.

Pros

Onboarding in Seattle was a nice trip (poor training though) Good products Nice London office - free food kitchen etc. Great if you want to graze at your desk all day and put on loads of weight. mmmmm cannot think of anymore Reasonable guarantee for first few months but still does not make up for cons below... Good place to learn the basics if this is your 1st sales job.

Cons

Dreadful compensation package - massively below market rates....NO CAR Allowance for a start, LOW basic salaries - you will only be told this once you have spent weeks interviewing so ask upfront and do not waste your time interviewing. Long interview process - learn the product demo it etc...you really must like BI and Data to work here and you MUST be prepared to demo the product yourself and know it technically. I personally found it dull and the amount of hype around their product is quite tiresome. The company has a massive cultural divide - the Pre IPO's and the After IPO's...not nice. If you are in the UK be prepared to see many of your hard earned sales get snatched by the US. There is zero protection to you and I witnessed this time and time again. Very little team spirit and as much of the culture is "you will be in the office" so go figure. If you are given a crap territory then good luck...BI is important to companies but not will not change their world. The company is very US centric. Endless deal win announcements which everyone in the company gets irrespective of deal size or location which can to a very large inbox.

Best place I've ever worked

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
