Mission: We help people see and understand data. Seven words that drive everything we do. And they’ve never been more important.
Today is a big day at Tableau! We are joining the @Salesforce family and together we’re going to dramatically accelerate our mission to help people see and understand data. Our #DataFam just got a lot bigger! http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMB7i Key Info: http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMB7e
Last week we were so excited to win Geekiest Office Space at the GeekWire Awards 2019! Thanks Geekwire for this awesome award, and a huge thanks to the many teams at Tableau to make our office so unique. http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMP4P
Tableau Software is a company on a mission. We help people see and understand their data. After a highly successful IPO in 2013, Tableau has become a market-defining company in the business intelligence industry. But don’t take our word for it—read what analysts like BARC and Gartner have to say about us. (Spoiler: You’ll find terms like “Leader” and “#1.”)
Tens of thousands of companies and organizations have chosen Tableau. From the executive suites of Fortune 500 companies to the jungles of Central America, from immunology research labs to high school robotics club meetings, our software can be found anywhere people have data and questions. Additionally, journalists, bloggers, and major media web sites have embraced our free product, Tableau Public, for its ability to help them share data online in the form of interactive visualizations.

Intern Benefits
When you intern with Tableau, you’ll get to:
I worked at Tableau Software full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
I loved my experience at Tableau! The culture, the people, and the product are all fantastic.
Cons
There isn't a lot of opportunity for growth and it's very easy to hit your ceiling, (which is typically anything past a Sr. Manager role). Once you hit it, you can expect to stay stuck for 3 years or more unless you are willing to move to HQ. If there had been a next step for me I definitely would have stayed.
Advice to Management
Define career paths and opportunities. Don't make it so difficult to move from each segment of the business, (commercial, enterprise, public sector) in order to retain talent. Be transparent in pay structures. Refusing a raise to tenured and performing employees only to hire new people at an even higher salary is demoralizing.

Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tableau Software (Seattle, WA) in April 2019.
Interview
Standard 4 person interview with an As Appropriate at the end if you get through the interviews. Questions were all around in a discussion format about the role and my experience that makes me suitable. Didnt have trick questions and I found myself driving most of the discussions, which was nice.
