Pros

Absolutely terrific Desktop product, fun and young energetic culture, great benefits, fully stocked kitchens, occasional catered lunches, fun internal company activities to mix things up, visionary CEO, very down to earth accessible management team, amazing company parties, this company is going places.

Cons

If you read all the reviews for Tableau you will see that the number one complaint is low pay, and it is 100% absolutely true. Base/commission is very low for this industry (competitor compensation easily 2x to 3x higher) especially when you consider the work you will be required to put in. Commission schedule is confusing and full of traps so make sure you ask to have it explained clearly to you before you start. Current revenue growth plan set by management is completely unsustainable and will result in front line sales team burn out and eventual turnover. Ever increasing sales team head count and territory size reduction is forcing sales reps to squeeze more out of less.

Pros

If you are a go-getter, you can basically do anything you want at this fast-growing company. The vacuum created by internal promotion means there are roles just begging to be filled by those creative enough to carve them out.

Cons

Base pay is low for folks living in such expensive cities as Menlo Park (Bay Area), Seattle, Washington DC.

Pros

Innovative product to sell Companies can use the product to help their business. Convenient Fremont location Good work life balance

Cons

As with most companies that go public we seemed to have lost the team culture. The space is growing more competitive and Tableau needs to start getting more ahead of the curve.
