Apr 24, 2023 - Program Director in Seattle, WARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The people are genuine, hard working, and care about each other. The benefits package is fantastic with 401k match, exceptional healthcare insurance, wellness reimbursement, etc. The pay is in-line with other tech companies.
Cons
Culture took a hit with the Salesforce integration - i.e., Salesforce employees come first.

Used to be awesome. Destroyed by Salesforce
Apr 21, 2023 - Principal Member of Technical Staff in Kirkland, WARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
This was probably the best place I've worked for a while.
Cons
And then Salesforce took over and is destroying everything that was good about Tableau. All the Tableau leaders who were well respected are now gone as are many of the strong individuals. Hard to imagine more of a culture clash between the great collaborative culture that Tableau had and the cultish culture of Salesforce.

Pros
Brand recognition keeps your pipeline full, and inbounds are extremely common. This is where the pros stop for me Amazing parental support (parental leave, fertility support, out of state abortion assistance)
Cons
This job was an amazing opportunity however the amount of responsibility you have versus the time you have to get things done is ridiculous. The processes here are not fully defined and are extremely time consuming and long (especially on the tableau side). To get a quote out it takes two approvals with no discounting and extra approvals if discounting is needed. Approvals can take days and you will constantly be submitting SOP requests. The work life balance is not there at all, and the remote workforce is a detriment when it comes to onboarding, training, promoting a culture, team cohesion etc. The differences between the way Tableau reps are supported vs Salesforce reps is astonishing and creates division in many cases. My biggest complaint is purely just that the entire company feels like everyone is purely a number.

Pros
Great Environment. Loved my co-workers.
Cons
When massive lay offs started, there was an abysmal aura in the work place.
