What benefits does Tableau Software provide?
Top Employee Response
Tableau has standard big tech company health insurance, so it's pretty good. All the typical things are there (medical, dental, medical leave). They have a lower match on the 401k that most other companies, and you can't double up like some companies allow, where you can put 48k away a year.
401k match, healthcare/vision/dental, ESPP, transit subsidy, 3 weeks PTO, 2 weeks sick leave
Health insurance is better than any policy I have ever seen, and I was in HR for years! their Dental is also better. The Short Term Disability isn't as good as most, but the Long Term Disability is standard. The 401(K) match isn't good, but they allow a lot to be deferred into an HSA. Vacation is 3 weeks, and they have a generous maternity/paternity leave. Overall, benefits package is one of the best I've ever seen.
