Great company with room to improve

Tech support agent

Business Outlook

Pros

A fine place to learn a wide range of skillsets and make an impact. The culture is among the best I have seen and everyone works as a team. Processes are constantly being improved and every improvement is predominantly done with the customer in mind. Some really amazing managers here, mostly internally grown so they know your job and career options. The work is challenging and the customers are surprisingly pleasant to work with most days.

Cons

Benefits are solid, but Base Salary is not competitive with similar industries, especially in the Seattle area (high cost of living). Management cares, but can face internal challenges doing the right thing for their employees. Career opportunities are less plentiful amongst the international teams.

Great company, horribly managed team

Customer service representative

Business Outlook

Pros

The people you work with are by far the pro's of Tableau. They throw fun events and keep things exciting at work, new beautiful buildings are in construction, and the company is hip. Benefits are the best I've encountered.

Cons

Company has lost some morale with the struggles of the last year. Senior management has strong favoritism and people who do sketchy things or don't lift a finger end up getting promoted while the hard working and helpful ones get shafted and end up leaving. Worst senior management ever. Moving onto other teams is rough because openings come up very rarely and very competitive. Also, your team management basically punishes you for trying to pursue elsewhere and if you don't get it, it becomes very awkward.
