Monotonous & Stressful Work - SAM Tableau Software Employee Review

Pros

Market leading product. Good salary (if you're hitting quota). Lots of sales training. Trips to the US. Free food. Do well and you may well be promoted quicker than at other companies.

Cons

If you're applying for a sales role within the Commercial team, know that this is a glorified call centre. Client-facing opportunities arise but you're told you can't leave the office. Meanwhile client is telling you the competition is delighted to come out and see them. Micro management that prefer the stick to the carrot. Growth plans are aggressive and the pressure trickles down. Long sales cycle (although management will insist it doesn't need to be) so it's hard to land big deals within 6 month probation. Inequality across the territories - be prepared to see some of your colleagues booking constant "blue bird" deals or having partners book 50%+ of their deals whilst you're bending over backwards for a single license deal.
