Good place to be

Pros

It's relatively easy to succeed at Tableau provided you complete your assigned tasks and come to work with some creative ideas for improvement as a team. The executive team, product and mission are fantastic.

Cons

As the company grows there are small pains with scaling systems and processes. I think there's like five different wikis - ouch - but these are relatively small gripes.

Aggressive growth and sights on the prize make Tableau a win

Pros

Great culture, great benefits, company wide excitement to bring an amazing product to the masses. The software itself makes it easy to get behind the Tableau mission. Executive staff is visionary, and looking to push the industry into realms it's never been. With explosive growth comes abundance of career opportunity. There is a push to keep such great talent in Tableau, and a drive to help them meet their career potential.

Cons

With aggressive growth and high expectations comes a heavy work load. Hours can be long, stress intense, and at times a sacrifice to work/life balance. Depending on the team, there can be a trickle down effect of the expectation to sacrifice your time for the company - I believe this is partly due to never really being able to hire people fast enough and fill seats (which is a good/bad situation - as Tableau will not hire just anyone, they are keen to keep hiring top class people).

Pros

Great leadership, perks, and culture

Cons

Growing pains which include cultural shifts from hiring mediocre mid-level managers from other technology companies. There is also an ivory tower issue with development.
