Pros

Great product, great core value.

Cons

Stay away from order management team, unless you have competence enough to change their bad habit. As business process is getting complicated, manager failed to lead, enable and motivate team to achieve goal. In addition, work quality is not properly measured, extra effort is needed to fix colleagues’ mistake. Morale degradation. We are very disappointed to discover in Instagram that one manager who was supposed to work at home is actually taking a day off at poolside. Hope those issues are solved once salesforce integration is completed.

Pros

Very relaxed environment Some great peers Fun technology

Cons

Inconsistent quality of management. Some managers are extremely poor, but survive - whether through relationships, managing upwards, etc. They fail to lead according to any accepted definition. This has significant organisational costs and produces cynicism .

Pros

- This is the first job where I feel like my work/life balance is valued and truly in balance. Of course there are sales targets and end of quarter pressure, but that's not unlike any other sales position. - I usually go to work with a smile on my face because I know I will spend the day with a like-minded, fun and international group of people. - Customers truly love what Tableau can do for their company, which makes conversations fun. Because of the nature of the product and the focus of customers on data you typically have strategic conversations with C-level people, which (in my opinion) is more fun than solely speaking with IT. - opportunity to travel to territory for events and see customers face to face

Cons

- Tableau has transformed from being a scale-up to an enterprise company (and now acquired by Salesforce), which has brought about some cultural shifts and challenges (as evidenced by some of the negative reviews on here probably). Some promotions that didn't make sense and lack of promotions where they should have happened. There are now, however, visible changes in approach to professional development of employees. - same quotas for very different territories can skew the way success is measured.
