Cons
(most important is my third point, please read for a perspective of what it's like working here) My manager seems to always either be talking/gossiping, eating, web browsing, or complaining and hardly ever working to the point where it seems as if our team is doing everything and they (referring to my manager) just take the credit in their reports up the ladder. This affects how the team functions - we do the same repetitive things day in and day out without having any innovative change that helps us scale up. And they seem perfectly fine (or are just blatantly oblivious) with how this is. _____ There's a strange clique-ish culture here at Tableau. As a newer person, I did not feel like my team had an inclusive atmosphere and still doesn't. This may be due to the level of unhappiness that I eventually discovered dwelling within the team. _____ People keep leaving due to the lack of mobility and feeling undervalued due to the lack of pay and employee valuation. In our last team meeting, my manager told us essentially that we are a part of something that reflects just about any other corporate environment where upper management (potentially also referring to themself) sees employees as easily replaceable. They (my manager) justified the way-below-industry-standard pay by saying that upper management sees that if someone wants to stay, they will because they want to, despite the horrible pay... and if they want to leave they will be easily replaced. This makes sense as the company tends to hire recent college grads who can't negotiate a reasonable salary. As you can imagine when you have a manager telling this to you and your team, it's hard to find motivation to want to work for this sinking ship of a company.
