Tableau Software reviews

SF killed the company I loved. Tableau wasn't perfect but it was pretty amazing all things considered. Big enough company to carry a global name, yet there was a lot of room for creative freedom regarding how you owned and operated your business and your time. SF completely murdered all sense of individuality and creativity. It's extremely corporate now. Red tape everywhere. Everything has a process... almost all preposterously long and convoluted. More mandatory trainings than I've ever seen... I have nothing against training if they are actually going to bring value. But they roll out mandatory trainings just to tick boxes. TOTAL LACK OF DIVERSITY. OMG, can we have more white men in leadership roles? Nope. Just an endless sea of mediocre white men who only want to lead for the titles with their bros.

Since the job is so easy to get, you'll often find yourself surrounded by people that bring so little to the table that it makes you question your own career choices. Then there's the micromanagement, which one finds at every company with a few thousand people, but Tableau takes the cake; there are so many layers and so many "managers" that add absolutely no value (unless, of course, value is defined as lowering employee morale). Career progression hardly exists in the sales org. Sure, some roles have been created to be able to "progress" people, but the harsh reality is that there are not a lot of people that truly move up the ladder. What makes the situation more unfortunate, is that those people are almost exclusively the ones that spend more time on office politics than with their clients. Combine all of the above with pay that is well below the industry standard and you'll understand why a company with a great product and nice office has such a low Glassdoor score and why people are constantly leaving.
