Pros: For consultants in Professional Services, the pay is pretty competitive. On the extremely rare occasion you are in the office, you get to enjoy the fun atmosphere of the company. Tableau is an amazing product, and they have some projects in the works that will continue to disrupt the BI and analytics landscape. It is an honor to contribute to this!
* Outside of Professional Services, morale is high.
Cons: As a consultant in professional services, you are expected to travel on personal time. Flying out on Sunday and returning Friday night is typical.
Including travel, 65 hours is a typical work week.
Consultants in professional services find it difficult to transition to jobs internally; almost all seek opportunities outside of Tableau to advance their careers.
