Pros
- People tend to be kind, collaborative, helpful and interested in building a truly useful tool in line with Tableau's mission - Developers are involved in the whole process of a project. We have a say in what gets done and how we do it; it's not just one-way orders from management to you. - Everyone in Development is invited to the annual Tableau Conference, which is fun and exhausting and a great opportunity to meet users excited about Tableau - Avocados :)
Kontras
- Growing pains. E.g., knowledge is concentrated in a handful of people who have been there for a long time but is poorly documented for everyone else - Teams are spread across locations, which can make for less effective communication - Demographic breakdown that you might expect from a tech company. There are a few employee-made groups to support underrepresented or marginalized groups internally but we could be better about who we include and how we include them on a company level - Not much communication between Dev organization and others (e.g., Sales, Support) who would likely have helpful input
