Pros

Tableau has a great product that's easy to get excited about and a strong customer base that's growing. We promote that people who join Tableau are 'humble smart,' and I believe those are many of the people we hire. It's a fun environment, global, good tools to get our work done, like the new CEO (Adam) and the new exec leaders coming in. Feel they'll help us get to the next level of growth as a company.

Cons

Tableau still has a start-up feel, with everyone doing their own thing, starting from scratch, being innovative in their space, but it feels like the Wild West sometimes. Many business units and teams have a different solution. It's difficult to find one source of truth and the dirty secret is that we don't do a great job of making sure the data is prepped and 'cleaned' so you know the business decisions you're making based on 'seeing and understanding your data' are the right ones. We're getting there but we're not there yet. There also aren't clear career paths for many groups, so finding opportunities to grow up or laterally is difficult.

Almost great company, doesn't care about retention or growth

Pros

great culture, fun and intelligent colleagues to work with, great product and work environment

Cons

non-US employees are 2nd class to US employees. 0 progression for non-US employees and offered less to no opportunities. Almost my whole team has left for positions that pay close to double, or more senior roles externally than options we applied for internally (but were rejected and not even given an opportunity). It's sad that external companies we've never worked with are more willing to reward and recognize me and my ex-team-mates than Tableau. This was more about never being recognized for our potential and capabilities than Tableau paying lesser. There USED to be a flat hierarchy but these days you can give detailed feedback for years and still nothing has changed. My advice to anyone leaving Tableau: don't bother with exit interviews. Nothing will change.
