Great company

Pros

Great leadership and mission. Hiring tends to be a pain but gets you good peers.

Cons

Salesforce purchase has brought a bit of a clowny culture that I don't love but it's better than not trying to be positive at all. A for effort, B- for execution. Layoffs we're a blow to morale, the CEO is tripping over his tongue a lot, though I appreciate his attempts to connect and be authentic. He just doesn't know how bad he needs to be filtered or edited to save a lot of angst in the ranks.

WAS the best company I ever worked

Pros

Tableau was truly a special place. Wonderful people on a mission to help people see and understand data. It felt like everyone was trying to move in the same direction to achieve a common goal. I really enjoyed coming in to work and my teammates.

Cons

The Salesforce acquisition led to a gradual decline. While at first we were hopeful that there was an opportunity to both learn from SF and have SF learn from Tableau, it became very clear that SF leadership had limited desire to incorporate strengths from Tableau. At the same time, the ability to make decisions and / or make any progress gradually disappeared. As a result, many of Tableau best employees left.

Goodbye work-life balance

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.
