Tableau Software reviews

Pay is probably one of the biggest cons. You will not be pinching pennies by any means, but they are not anywhere as competitive as the other tech companies in the greater Seattle area. Frankly, they don't care and I don't blame them because they have a line of people around the block ready to work for them in a heartbeat. The stock grants are also very underwhelming both when you join, and during yearly reviews even with flying colors. Growth is another big issue here. They promise the world when it comes to growth, and do not deliver. It was so bad after I left that some folks on Enterprise moved to Commercial (SMB) to have any shot of getting higher up in Enterprise one day. The culture (sales side) is also extremely cheesy. We're talking spin the wheel, ring the gong, hoo-rah type of cheesy. Many pointless weekly meetings on "grit" and role plays that are nowhere close to what real customer conversations consist of. If you speak out against it, or try to focus on your own path of getting things done, good luck. You have to drink the kool-aid to have any shot of moving up here. Flexibility is also a big reason people leave. You basically have to be in every day barring some unique circumstance, and don't even think of asking to work from home around the holidays (including Christmas and New Year's Eve).

Pay. For reals, pay us more. It's so simple. I want to stay at Tableau forever, but it is hard to convince myself to do that when I could go to Amazon 10 mins away and make double. As costs in Seattle rise, eventually the financial need for more pay will outweigh my desire to work for a really cool company. Hoping that Salesforce will come in and raise our pay to something similar to their own high levels.
