Tableau

Legacy Tableau culture still around in the community, vestiges in the workplace. Still opportunity for growth in new areas of product. Salesforce isn't the worst parent company to work for. In-office culture is good.

Tableau leadership can't figure out if they want to invest in current Tableau or some new Salesforce-native version of Tableau. Most teams aren't in-office, so in-office culture is not with your team, just people in the office (in Vancouver that is). Random layoffs sometimes to try and reduce operational costs mean long time people are let go, or long time people give up and go. Tableau has gone from an engineering-driven company to a sales-driven company. Yes sales pay the bills, but it's not like Tableau isn't making money.

Nobody (in engineering) is really inspired by the next version of Tableau, and we don't have confidence and excitement that the Next product will engage and excite the community in the same way we used to be united. The spark and magic of the Tableau Community is dying, and trying to make it more Salesforce-y will not save it. Maybe this is what happens when you de-fund the marketing org without looking at the bigger picture.
