Pros
I have been here for almost 4 years when Public Sector had weak leadership, no vision, and little accountability. I read the previous review and couldn't disagree more. It is refreshing to see current leadership taking the team to a new level, and holding people who have been complacent for many years accountable. This team needed to be shaken up and desparately needed leadership. Thank God we have a leader we can rally behind and get things done. I couldn't be prouder of the changes and where we are going. Those who are complaining are the people who are the problem. They just need to get on board or leave.

There is alot if uncertainty over the impact Salesforce will have. Public Sector leaders have been pretty transparent and it is helping. Corporate leadership could communicate more. Some feel they are out of tune to the worries in the field.
Advice to Management
Find more strong leaders to complement the new leaders who joined over the past year, and flush out those who have been coasting over the past few years.

Pros
I loved my experience at Tableau! The culture, the people, and the product are all fantastic.
Cons
There isn't a lot of opportunity for growth and it's very easy to hit your ceiling, (which is typically anything past a Sr. Manager role). Once you hit it, you can expect to stay stuck for 3 years or more unless you are willing to move to HQ. If there had been a next step for me I definitely would have stayed.
Advice to Management
Define career paths and opportunities. Don't make it so difficult to move from each segment of the business, (commercial, enterprise, public sector) in order to retain talent. Be transparent in pay structures. Refusing a raise to tenured and performing employees only to hire new people at an even higher salary is demoralizing.

Pros
The employees and management tend to be very kind and understanding, the benefits are excellent. There's a lot of "morale events" and free food, which are nice!
Cons
The company is growing much faster than it can handle adjusting to. There is a high turnover as a result, and a lot of burnout in the senior employees.
Advice to Management
Move slower. Stop changing job responsibility and piling extra responsibility onto your techs by disguising it as "opportunities for advancement". The tech department is not great at helping people advance, and the main help that comes from management is "I will provide support (encouragement and cheerleading)" vs. "I can help you find the proper channels and get you in touch". There's a lot of "help" that is basically managers telling people to "figure it out themselves". Thicken out the management and employees if this is what keeps happening!
