No pay increases to compensate performance and inflation Clients are leaving and the retention rate is no longer advertised Stagnent product development, Microsoft and Qlik have now surpassed Tableau on Gartner magic quadrant.

Advice to Management

Why have so many left in 2018? What has been done to address the problem? Stop pointing fingers and use your own tool to fix the problem.

Pros

Good product, good culture, good future

Cons

tech support is rubbish, favoritism from mgmt.

Pros

A Gartner leader who've paved the way for the Modern BI revolution we're now experiencing, and a driving force in the ubiquity of analytics in business. Market opportunity in front of us is massive, and those who are along for this ride stand to benefit greatly in their careers.

Cons

With any rapid growth company, you're bound to experience challenges in communication or other growing pains. In an environment of constant change, little things can get overlooked and can cause some discomfort.

Advice to Management

Focus on employee morale and engagement, open communication, and reward your company builders. This is an opportunity most people will never get in their careers, and it never hurts to be reminded of that from time to time.

Pros

Great culture of respecting and valuing people Compensation very competitive

Cons

People aren't willing to push others, which sometimes causes delays in deliverables.

Pros

Awesome, smart people Great physical offices FOOD. Fully stocked kitchen to cook, snacks galore, catered food all over Great healthcare Ability to speak up and ask for projects I want to work on Great product Big time customers

Cons

Pay. For reals, pay us more. It's so simple. I want to stay at Tableau forever, but it is hard to convince myself to do that when I could go to Amazon 10 mins away and make double. As costs in Seattle rise, eventually the financial need for more pay will outweigh my desire to work for a really cool company. Hoping that Salesforce will come in and raise our pay to something similar to their own high levels.

Pros

I feel like I hit the recruiting jackpot with this company. Great product, culture and recruiting environment.

Cons

Since the company grew so fast so quickly, we experienced many growing pains along the way.
