Pros

Growing company with great products. The people and the culture are incredible, plenty of free food and snacks, fun events, beautiful building, and wonderful benefits. Career opportunities are there but you must seek them yourself and they will probably be outside of Customer Operations.

Cons

If you are trying to get in to Tableau, go to another department and stay away from Customer Operations in its current state and leadership. There is constant turn over, poor training, under staffing, over working, micromanaging, and low pay. Your direct manager will likely care about you and your development, but what they can accomplish is limited as they are strongly influenced by leadership above them. If you are looking to get your foot in Tableau, seek another department or be willing to endure high pressure, monotonous work, and endless over time with little to no progression. The people in the department are some of the best people you will ever work with, benefits and food are wonderful, but they are not worth the poor direction under which the team operates. It is my hope that this review will help initiate some of the much needed change.

Pros

Love working with outcome-oriented team, not nearly as much internal politicking as some of the other places I've worked. AWESOME product that people easily fall in love with.

Cons

The company is clearly maturing from startup phase, and the grumbling from early Tabloids that "things used to be better" ignores the fact that there are plenty of good people here who are excited about working on the next phase of the company's growth.

Pros

- Values-driven company - Genuine care for employees' well-being - Salesforce benefits and market reach - Great executive leadership (EVP+) - Salaries above average - Office snacks are nice

Cons

I'm a member of the industries team (Healthcare, Public Sector, Retail), so I can't speak to the rest of the commercial org, but this is what I experience: - Hostile, defensive, disorganized, inexperienced leadership - Most sales managers/middle management have little to no sales or industry-related experience and are severely under-qualified for their roles - Inability to streamline communication and reach consensus on prioritization, leading to a chaotic work environment - Distrust in reps shown through micromanagement and constant questioning - Complete lack of care for the customer -- on some occasions, we've blatantly been told to lie to customers - No attention given to rep development - Zero solicitation of rep feedback about management or the team as a whole
