      Manage by chaos, failure to follow-up

      Pros

      Saccharin sweet and flexible, perfect for drones.

      Cons

      The department was controlled by chaotic management directives, a failure by senior leadership to follow-up on initiatives, and unheralded control by a few that adversely impacted whole segments of the organization.

      Lots of good, some bad, some worrying trends.

      Pros

      - The product is awesome. There is nothing like it. - People are straightforward and generally agreeable. People say what they mean. - No culture of incompetent "lifers" like at other major software vendors. People know their stuff. - The work is challenging.

      Cons

      - Tableau hires young, ambitious workers and underpays them. - There is little in the way of training or career development. - Low morale is pervasive in some groups. - Constant fires, insane amounts of context switching, lots of moving targets to hit. - The fabled "Tableau culture" is quickly becoming a thing of the past. It was very real when I first joined.

      Pros

      Have been with the company several years and despite huge growth, still feel the efforts to maintain a fun, inclusive and rewarding culture are intact. The strategy of heavy reinvestment into the products and technology afford Tableau a leadership position in the market (yes, it's crowded, but the stalwarts are imitating from behind). Executive team and board have acted extremely level-headedly in my opinion, to maximize product value and ensure client success. That makes our job easier as sales staff.

      Cons

      Rapid growth has meant frequent org chart changes. However, this is mostly at the line level manager and mid-management levels. Fortunately overall individual sales contributor turnover is very low.
