Pros

Tableau has a great product that's easy to get excited about and a strong customer base that's growing. We promote that people who join Tableau are 'humble smart,' and I believe those are many of the people we hire. It's a fun environment, global, good tools to get our work done, like the new CEO (Adam) and the new exec leaders coming in. Feel they'll help us get to the next level of growth as a company.

Cons

Tableau still has a start-up feel, with everyone doing their own thing, starting from scratch, being innovative in their space, but it feels like the Wild West sometimes. Many business units and teams have a different solution. It's difficult to find one source of truth and the dirty secret is that we don't do a great job of making sure the data is prepped and 'cleaned' so you know the business decisions you're making based on 'seeing and understanding your data' are the right ones. We're getting there but we're not there yet. There also aren't clear career paths for many groups, so finding opportunities to grow up or laterally is difficult.

Pros

-Lots of flexibility (which is rare for customer support) -Wonderful manager and coworkers that were always eager to help manage cases -Lots of new hire training and supplemental hiring -Perks like snacks, occasional catering, company parties were insane -

Cons

-Low pay. It's no secret Tableau underpays compared to other tech and software companies in the area. The snacks & perks are meant to distract you from lack of pay. -There were two women on my sub-team in the office the whole I was there -If you're in Support, get ready for server admins that are certain you are trying to sabotage them
