If you are perfect, Tableau is great. If you are looking to develop yourself, this is not the place to look

Pros

Excellent training programme which starts in Seattle HQ, training you in Tableau's products and sales messages. It's hard not to be motivated by the company's ambitions.

Some of the nicest colleagues that I've come across anywhere.

Cons

The services organisation in EMEA does not take the opportunity to provide role-based training and development to new team members. If you cannot already fully fulfil on the job, you will quickly be shown the door.

It was evident that Regional Delivery Managers are not adding any value. Rather than doing this, they could be seen creating or seeking problems to justify their existence, especially with the pending Salesforce merger.

Training for the Tableau Product is great, but role-based training is absent. This is evident across all levels of management.

The current role-based training that exists is reading an onboarding guide. The organisation does not have time to provide mentoring, as discussed in these documents.

Advice to Management

Recommend Salesforce flatten the organizational structure and further managers' training.

Regional Delivery Managers in EMEA would benefit from choosing to focus on developing and motivating their teams alongside adding value to the organization.

Senior Directors in Global Services would benefit from delivering role-based training to new starters and existing team members.

Developing a culture of open and honest feedback with coaching to support team members in areas where performance is not ideal would be perfect.
