Pros

-Amazing product - turned an entire industry on its head - Most of colleagues are happy and friendly, motivated, and driven (except management) -Tableau will look amazing on your resume. They have a great reputation. Everyone will want to hire you -Tableau's secret to their success is how they dogfood their own product. You'll get exposed to what truly world class analytics looks like, and be able to carry that with you to future jobs

Cons

-Pay - Deeper than just underpaying - since IPO they operate much like a large mega-vendor like Oracle or SAP or Microsoft. (Your ability to succeed is 50% politics, everyone wanting to make a claim on your deals/accounts, high pressure, no vacation, etc...) - but you get paid a startup wage. Pay for any given role is probably 50% of what you'd get at a large company. The question is why would you take small company pay for big company stress levels? First level management are good people - most of them are reps that have been promoted up and they know what the day to day is actually like. Director level and above are all about politics and burdensome process. It is about who you now here, not how well you perform.
