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.

Pros

Great life / work balance, great benefits, People are generally nice and smiley. Very easy to "be ahead" of others technically.

Cons

Won't be learning anything Managers are just buffers, they won't be able to take action. There will be a lot of watching your screen while it builds, and lots of figuring out why the standard setup that was working yesterday won't work anymore.

Maturing at its own slow pace

Pros

Management smart enough to let employees be successful and autonomous in their own realm. The benefits are decent and golden handcuffs help with overall compensation. If you can play the social relationship game you can probably move up without having the needed skills.

Cons

Failure of Managers to manage again and again. Relationships and who you know more important than having actual skills......Compensation is on the low side and failure of management to actually communicate leaves a lot to be desired, Same mistakes continue to happen more often than what you would expect for a company of it's size. Where people have taken rolls for the sake of compensation where they neither had the desire or skill to manage.
