Tableau

The legacy Tableau culture is still around in the community and there are vestiges in the workplace.

There is still opportunity for growth in new areas of the product.

Salesforce isn't the worst parent company to work for.

The 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. 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.
