Cons
A deteriorating work environment and atmosphere due a growing frustration from employees regardless of territory and position. Frustration stems from: * Undermarket wages * Lack of communication and transparency * An environment where some get preferential treatment * Regular mistakes on payslips and lack of concerns about it * Highly bureaucratic, with increasingly cumbersome processes, acting as if they are a company with 30k employees They show a complete lack of respect towards their employees, they have a strong sense of entitlement and have no interest in listening to employees’ valid concerns or opinions. Tableau considers employees to be like pawns on a chessboard, using them how they see fit only to fulfil the company or manager’s personal agenda. The employee at no point has a say or is consulted in career changing decisions; employees are simply not taken in consideration. For a company that has “we respect each other” as one of their core values, it is shockingly lacking and should probably change it to “their way or the highway”. Clueless middle management (including directors) have no power and are just there to pass down information and play nice. Good luck on making them fight for you as they are too afraid that it would hurt their careers or cause them difficulties. There is also a complete lack of ownership when it comes to decision-making - decisions are made, teams find out through rumour and there is no official communication to anyone, leaving everyone feeling very unstable. Tableau was once a fun company, full of people with the same mission of working hard selling a great software and playing hard. In fact, the ‘play hard’ aspect is touted by HR as a perk. The reality is that Tableau has become a company that put itself first, organises lacklustre and basic parties that finish at 8pm and where you have to pay for your own drinks.
