Great company, horribly managed team

Customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people you work with are by far the pro's of Tableau. They throw fun events and keep things exciting at work, new beautiful buildings are in construction, and the company is hip. Benefits are the best I've encountered.

Cons

Company has lost some morale with the struggles of the last year. Senior management has strong favoritism and people who do sketchy things or don't lift a finger end up getting promoted while the hard working and helpful ones get shafted and end up leaving. Worst senior management ever. Moving onto other teams is rough because openings come up very rarely and very competitive. Also, your team management basically punishes you for trying to pursue elsewhere and if you don't get it, it becomes very awkward.

Pros

Great CEO, great product, nice colleagues. Great vibe and culture - as long as you're in a department other than sales.

Cons

The mgmt culture of the sales team is highly toxic - high control, low trust. If you're considering a sales job with Tableau, don't be fooled by the marketing on the website about the wonderful culture and being voted one of the best places to work. That's probably true for other departments within the company, but not sales. So unless you like being micromanaged and berated on a daily basis, give this company a miss.
