Unhealthy environment, Bullying in the workplace.
Pros
- Recently acquired by Salesforce, hopefully, this will make a better impact in the long term. - Some teams get treated really well. Depending who your director is, could make a great difference.
Cons
- Bullying and mistreatment. Even when being discriminated and escalating things to Human Resources you don’t feel supported. Social exclusion plays a big part in different teams and nobody seems to care. - Bullying in the workplace is a repeated and inappropriate behaviour. Either conducted by one person or a group of people towards someone else. Social exclusion occurs in the workplace and the sad reality is that it really hurts, it impacts someone’s confidence and performance. - Patronizing leadership, not aligned to company values. - A real micro-management company: There are indeed a few good leaders, and few disrespectful leaders. You can get direct message by your director telling you to stop working with your team-mate on something, in order to be quiet and to get back to business cases. You can feel discriminated and threatened. - Comments and jokes on Slack channel related to “alcoholism”, which can be harmful for people who have suffered or had friends who suffered from it. This behaviour might not be aligned with the 9 grounds of discrimination. - Company values are not lived by on a daily basis, they are only buzzwords on the walls. You can feel that the Culture is not always respected between the different teams and leadership. - A Company that talks about inclusion and working as a team, yet people are treated differently and not aligned with the so loved Salesforce Ohana. - You don’t feel that you can voice your ideas and feelings. - Very large cases load. You are expected to work longer hours without extra pay, recognition or getting some time back. If you leave the office on time, you are not seen a good employee. - The office is not great compare to other tech companies at this level. Quality of office spaces is not great, some rooms are really hot without proper heating as well as other meeting rooms being really cold, which is managed by the landlord and not in control of facilities. Moving from really warm to really cold meeting rooms during the day, feels really unhealthy and uncomfortable. - Favouritism treatment and who you are friends with, is what makes a difference at Tableau in Dublin. - Not many possibilities for career growth. - Lack of proper communication from leadership and lack of experience from some managers in Dublin. - Benefits and reward package not competitive compared to other companies in Ireland. - Concerned about miss-alignments between Salesforce and Tableau. While they preach similar values, at Tableau you don’t feel that your word matters, and that they care about your emotional well-being. If you have proven that you’ve been social excluded and discriminated, nothing will be done to resolve it. - Misleading Job & Benefits Descriptions: during the interview process you are being told that you won’t have to worry about food, that they got catering and free food. This I partially true, as it only happens 3 days every quarter end.. Not the most health environmental friendly place to cook or prepare food, one of the grills in the main kitchen is being constantly used by different people at lunch time and often left dirty. This also created an anti-environmental friendly scenario with plenty of food waste each week. If you work for another tech company in Dublin, you should definitely avoid Tableau. Good luck if you do decide or if you need to join!
