Pros

Onboarding in Seattle was a nice trip (poor training though) Good products Nice London office - free food kitchen etc. Great if you want to graze at your desk all day and put on loads of weight. mmmmm cannot think of anymore Reasonable guarantee for first few months but still does not make up for cons below... Good place to learn the basics if this is your 1st sales job.

Cons

Dreadful compensation package - massively below market rates....NO CAR Allowance for a start, LOW basic salaries - you will only be told this once you have spent weeks interviewing so ask upfront and do not waste your time interviewing. Long interview process - learn the product demo it etc...you really must like BI and Data to work here and you MUST be prepared to demo the product yourself and know it technically. I personally found it dull and the amount of hype around their product is quite tiresome. The company has a massive cultural divide - the Pre IPO's and the After IPO's...not nice. If you are in the UK be prepared to see many of your hard earned sales get snatched by the US. There is zero protection to you and I witnessed this time and time again. Very little team spirit and as much of the culture is "you will be in the office" so go figure. If you are given a crap territory then good luck...BI is important to companies but not will not change their world. The company is very US centric. Endless deal win announcements which everyone in the company gets irrespective of deal size or location which can to a very large inbox.

Pros

Free food in the office Employees are all very friendly and very capable Nice location in Ballsbridge Good perks and benefits

Cons

Low salary no longer competitive in Dublin. Poor management decisions. Since Salesforce acquired Tableau, 2 VPNs, 2 email accounts, 2 Wikis, basically 2 of most things making the day to day very difficult. SF also added a lot of extra work for employees, loads of crap "Ohana" trainings, endless surveys, etc. Opened a new office in HYD, India. The employees do not have a clue what they are doing even after completing "training" and spend most of the day pinging the group chats for help, often before even attempting to work the issue themselves. Mass exodus of employees from the Dublin office in the last 12 months, all replaced with new employees in India which puts extra strain on the current trained employees in Dublin to do more and more. Management would rather have cases assigned to engineers over sitting in the queue however assignments are so frequent that engineers get overloaded leading to a large number of employees taking mental health breaks due to the stress and continuous onslaught of case assignments, case numbers are crazy and continue to grow. Put simply we do not have enough employees to deal with the incoming work. Employees are now forced to work mandatory weekend cover on top of their 5 day work week as it still falls below the max 48hrs a week. Tableau is a great product but recent versions have been released with major defects that have increased the incoming case load dramatically. Engineers now spend a large part of their time fixing customer relationships rather than fixing issues as wait times for cases are so large. There is little to no chance of career opportunities and growth, internal hires do not get the same salary increase as external hires would get offered for the same role.
