Pros
Tableau has been a breathe of fresh air for my career. Like a lot of folks who join, I came from an older organization with an extremely traditional and bureaucratic business model. However, upon joining into Tableau, I was surrounded by entrepreneurial, smart, driven, fun, unique, engaged, and proud employees. I could go on and on, but bottom line, Tableau has what anyone would look for in a company:
- Company growth and individual growth potential
- A unified mission
- Terrific health and personal benefits
- A product that WORKS
- Mentorship and investment in the individual
- Stock Plan
- International Assignments (optional)
- Positive culture
- Transparency across departments
- Two-week orientation for ALL global new hires at its Seattle HQ
- Engaging office workspaces
- Resources to LEARN (esp. for someone new to sales!)
To work at Tableau, you have to be willing to embrace challenge. You're not just a number or a number cruncher, nor a cog; rather, a valued employee whose insights, attitude, determination, and feedback matter.
Cons
Lots of reviews list Tableau's growth as a con. And sure, rapid growth in any space yields growing pains, but I would argue that's not a bad thing! In fact, that's why I (and others) joined the company to begin with - to engage and apply an entrepreneurial attitude. I don't expect things on a silver platter, but again, we're GROWING! Who's ever said, "I want to join a company that's shrinking."
