- 5.0Good people, good values, great productSoftware Engineering Manager • Current EmployeeKirkland, Washington, United StatesJune 26, 2019Pros: There are more good apples than bad apples at Tableau. The work is both challenging and rewarding. The product is a game changer. Tableau values embody a positive work ethic and they do influence the culture in a positive way. Awesome hiring, stock options.Cons: Not enough 401(k) matching. The optional (for now) HDHP is just OK; it could be better funded to reduce costs to employees.
- 5.0Great people, great productSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeKirkland, Washington, United StatesAugust 27, 2014Pros: Only one product, so the whole company pushes in the same direction. Very collaborative. Good small-company feel, even though the company is growing. Ability to make a difference, no matter your position.Cons: Processes are not well defined, so there's a lot of ambiguity and things get dropped on the floor sometimes. We sometimes have crunch times, although this is getting better. May be growing too fast to maintain its company culture.
