Pros

- Values-driven company - Genuine care for employees' well-being - Salesforce benefits and market reach - Great executive leadership (EVP+) - Salaries above average - Office snacks are nice

Cons

I'm a member of the industries team (Healthcare, Public Sector, Retail), so I can't speak to the rest of the commercial org, but this is what I experience: - Hostile, defensive, disorganized, inexperienced leadership - Most sales managers/middle management have little to no sales or industry-related experience and are severely under-qualified for their roles - Inability to streamline communication and reach consensus on prioritization, leading to a chaotic work environment - Distrust in reps shown through micromanagement and constant questioning - Complete lack of care for the customer -- on some occasions, we've blatantly been told to lie to customers - No attention given to rep development - Zero solicitation of rep feedback about management or the team as a whole

Pros

- THE PEOPLE. Tableau does a great job at hiring people who are great to work with and are dedicated to their jobs. - Benefits. Fantastic health insurance, ESPP program makes up for the lame 401(k) match, free food is a great perk. - Interesting product and industry, company is growing and doing well. - Very nice buildings and facilities.

Cons

- Lack of career growth. Be prepared to stay in the role you were hired to do. And if you are offered a promotion, you will be low-balled on the salary. - Pay. Expect to make 20% less than your peers in other companies. This used to get slightly evened out by stock grants, but those have gotten much less generous. - Parking is a huge pain.

Pros

-Free Food (in lieu of a competitive market salary) -Work/Life Balance -Outstanding People and Product

Cons

-"Tech-Bro" Culture is cultivated by senior management that doesn't listen to diversity concerns from their employees. -Software Developers are treated like "data rockstars" while Support Engineers get treated like crap (in both pay and representation in the company) -Becoming a lot like Amazon (in both tyrannical business leadership [who are all Amazon rejects] and lack of morals) -You can make more money as a forklift driver in comparison to some of their engineering positions.
