Great mission, great people, fervent customer base, but lost in the woods
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Palo Alto, California, United States
October 28, 2016
Pros: The people at Tableau are great. They are respectful, smart, and all great to work with.
The product is stellar and solves real problems for people, who love it.
The company has a strong corporate mission and culture, which is inspiring. The company is very transparent.
Cons: The company grew too fast in 2015. It has struggled to right itself.
There was a recent change in CEO, so the future prospects may not be the same as past performance.
Engineering struggles to add value to the product due to enormous technical debt. While the culture is based on kindness and respect, it also has a strong Microsoft bias (and all that goes with it).
Headquarters is in Seattle, which makes it difficult to have an impact from remote offices. Company is narrowing focus to only current enterprise customers.
