Business Outlook

Pros

Good vibes in the culture. Positive attitude. Amazing Product!!!! Health Insurance is good.

Cons

Very less salary!! Hard to get hikes and promotions! Slowly introducing work pressure with less pay! Do not consider cost of living of the city. Salaries need to be adjusted as per how the market is, A Tableau Developer/ Admin that works outside of Tableau makes 2 times more of a Tableau Employee!
