Episode 33: Tableau Software

Drew and James open the show with a discussion about "beer o'clock", and whether that is inclusive, exclusive, and how to fix it. The guest this week is Jesse Calderon from Tableau Software. The interview starts at 0:19:04.

When Jesse Calderon moved to Vancouver, he was only planning on staying for a couple of years, but it's been seven years now, and he is showing no sign of leaving. About a year ago, Jesse joined Tableau as the Senior Director of Engineering.

Tableau has a fantastic product as well as an enviable culture. If you are interested in open data, data visualization, or you are scoping out some exciting companies to work at, check out this episode!
