9. Working at Tableau
• At Tableau Software, it’s our mission to help you see and
understand your data
• Our headquarters is in Fremont,WA by Lake Union.
• It’s a really beautiful place with an amazing bridge overhead.
Very visually stimulating.
• There’s even a huge statue of a troll at the end of the bridge,
just up the street from where we work. You really have to
see it to know how cool it is.
• We’re a really wacky bunch and sometimes wear clown
noses in the rain. No joke.You’d laugh out loud.

**Caveat: this applies to most users.There are wizards like Jon Peltier and Jorge Camoes who can
do virtually anything with Excel, and programmers like Santiago Ortiz who will code an interactive
graphic so fast your head will spin. Again, this applies to mere “mortals” - like us
