Job progression not clear in certain roles Cuts on travel, company will become siloed (EMEA will be very separate from US) The global collaboration on deals still needs more work although is getting better.

Amazing

Manager

Business Outlook

Pros

I have worked at a number of "best places to work", and Tableau is far and away the favorite of my career. I am surrounded by curious, intelligent, funny, engaging and supportive individuals who are equally bought into the mission and taking the company to the next level. The enthusiasm and passion for the product and people starts at the top, and is palpable wherever you go. Tableau has grown rapidly, but there is still a small company vibe and plenty of opportunity to have an impact.

Cons

In reading some of the other reviews here, it appears that my experience is not universal, but I have personally never witnessed or experienced the complaints aired by others on glassdoor.

Great place to work

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work environment, great health package, decent benefits, and an accessible upper management. Good training opportunities, awesome office locations across the globe, and hard workers across the company.

Cons

Will often hire from outside to fill senior positions, rather than promote worthy internal candidates. Problem is the outside senior hires often need more/longer training than the fresh minds. Hasn't been effective (and probably not even cost-effective.)
