Fun but frustrating

Sales consultant

Business Outlook

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 .

Good benefits. Company culture is awesome. Awesome product

Great people, great product and good work/life balance

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.
