Pros

Great (truly) product. Customers love Tableau. Fun brand, co-workers are amazing. Benefits are fantastic.

Cons

Incompetent management is an understatement. Many have been around for years since the start up days and have no idea how to manage teams large, or manage across teams internationally dealing with culture and expectation. A complete lack of strategy and strategic vision (and lack of understanding why this is needed). Management talks a lot about the Tableau Core Values but it's mostly lip service and no action.Little accountability. Depending on the team/manager, little/no ownership. Managers can be micromanagers and hard to find due to traveling or other committments. Everyone works in silos. Management loves to see you churn - they value volume of work rather than quality of work. There's no effort put in to processes and streamlining. Working late/lots of hours is a badge of honor and those who do it look down on those who choose not to stay up till midnight every night on email. They really underpay compared to their competitors. Turnover has been low to this point but you can see it picking up.
