      Pros

      Great medical benefits, stock grants, annual bonuses (Sales), fully stocked kitchens, and amazing company parties! Team camaraderie is top-notch. This is the ideal first job out of college.

      Cons

      As mentioned by others, external hires are often much better compensated than those internally promoted. Additionally, executives appear to be in cash out mode, selling off their stock/options at every opportunity, negatively impacting those holding restricted shares. This isn't uncommon at "growth" Tech companies that have gone public, however, the degree of selling at Tableau is a bit sinister. Income/compensation inequality is definitely an issue.

      Pros

      Excellent product, great visionary leadership by co-founders. Health benefits are over the top and well appreciated; Great perks with fully stocked kitchens; beautiful offices Intelligent and talented people

      Cons

      Confusing structure, direction comes from many with little communication amoungst team. Inexperienced management; Unspoken expectations, watch out! Very very poor communication, very little colaboration. Disrespectful to direct reports. No delegation, therefore no personal growth. Experienced professionals not valued. Some senior management/management live in the data and create a culture far removed from the one Tableau speaks to.

      Actively Automating This Role Away

      Senior renewal manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remote, hybrid work environment. Salesforce is very considerate of individual people's tolerance for risk during the pandemic and prioritizes our health and comfort levels.

      Cons

      Cannot overstate how underpaid and overworked existing employees are. Without RSUs anymore (removed during the Salesforce acquisition) many talented individuals have left for other opportunities and salary offers of 50%+ more (no exaggeration). This has left existing Renewal Managers to "pick up the slack" often double, triple coveraging. Double coveraging has become the norm and status quo. This has lead to a general burnout and low morale. Migration to Salesforce system was horrendous. Completely under prepared (~2 hours of live training, several ineffective e-learning modules, hard to track documentation). Countless sleepless night and breakdowns for many Renewal Managers as Customers yelled at us for losing access to Tableau due to our inability to quote and renew on time. Leadership's toxic positivity. If you don't "drink the Koolaid" you're viewed as a negative Nancy, ignored and passed for promotions. The leadership team full of young, white fat boys with fragile egos can't take an ounce of constructive feedback. They will never own up to issues laid out by the team leaving persistent issues unresolved. The denial is deep. No wonder why everyone is leaving. Tableau is gone and Salesforce has swept in to "scale" the business. Another fancy tech buzzword for automating our jobs away. "Scaling" is actively being accomplished with a multi pronged approach: - replacing back fills with cheaper, contractors from the Philippines - tying our compensation to multi-year contracts - defaulting renewals to automatically renew - chatting with "bots" to get our job done. can't even chat internally with a real human being for help Concerned about the job security of this role.
