Best software job I've ever had by far; hasn't figured out agile yet - Senior Software Engineer Tableau Software Employee Review

Pros

Friendly atmosphere which permeates from the top down. Nobody's ego appears to be getting the way of getting the job done. I get to work on cool stuff that regularly shows up in our big product demos. Despite hiring a ton of new people in the past couple years, company has managed to retain most of its older engineering workforce; they've all been very knowledgeable and helpful. This company throws the best parties. Tableau Conference is a blast; people inside and outside the company always seem genuinely excited about the product & seeing new features. This was by far the most generous compensation package I was offered out of three companies when I took the job. Don't know how it still compares, and the stock price took a huge hit this year, but still seems really good. Work-life balance is great compared to some other local software giants. I work a 40-hour week and have never taken flak for it.

Cons

Difficult for some in leadership to shake bad habits/practices they learned at Microsoft. Still not sure how we're going to complete with Power BI, which is cheap or free & good enough for a lot of our potential customers. Some of the build and test infrastructure wasn't ready for a giant influx of new people; that still slows us down.
