Pros

+ Tableau provides by far and away the best medical insurance benefits I've ever had. + Casual dress code. + Free food in the kitchens. + Respect for work/life balance (no mandatory OT, flexibility with medical appointments).

Cons

+ Pay for Technical Support across the board is far below technical support industry standards. + Hiring/recruitment is now reactive instead of proactive + Recent attrition has led to likely-insurmountable morale problems.

Pros

- There are some talented, motivated, truly brilliant people at Tableau. - Product centric culture does a great job of getting everyone aligned behind a single vision and purpose. - Professional development—they're not afraid to spend money if you're genuinely curious and interested in learning new things.

Cons

- Compensation—you will not be paid well. - They're filling the middle with people managers that are unwilling and unable to execute even the most cursory tasks. - The extremely relaxed management style enables under-performers to skate by, which places an unnecessary and unfair burden on their top-performing peers.
