Pros

Tableau is an amazing product with radical fan base

Salesforce killed the momentum, the culture and now Tableau is simply lost. It was amazing while it lasted.

Pros

Brand recognition keeps your pipeline full, and inbounds are extremely common. This is where the pros stop for me Amazing parental support (parental leave, fertility support, out of state abortion assistance)

Cons

This job was an amazing opportunity however the amount of responsibility you have versus the time you have to get things done is ridiculous. The processes here are not fully defined and are extremely time consuming and long (especially on the tableau side). To get a quote out it takes two approvals with no discounting and extra approvals if discounting is needed. Approvals can take days and you will constantly be submitting SOP requests. The work life balance is not there at all, and the remote workforce is a detriment when it comes to onboarding, training, promoting a culture, team cohesion etc. The differences between the way Tableau reps are supported vs Salesforce reps is astonishing and creates division in many cases. My biggest complaint is purely just that the entire company feels like everyone is purely a number.

Pros

Great customer community. Great benefits from Salesforce.

Cons

Senior Leadership after the acquisition doesn’t understand the tableau business. Tableau business is being diluted in the salesforce 360 positioning. Increased office politics. Everything is about numbers. Tableau lost the magic it had before the aquisition.
