Salesforce buying Tableau

Hey everyone, I am about to join Tableau in July and found out they are being bought by Salesforce. Is there anything I need to consider and know about in this situation? I have already accepted my offer last week. Do I get to keep my shares or will things adjust before my start date. I am hoping this was just great luck of accepting the offer right before it was bought. Just want to know the situation since I have never joined a company in the process of being bought.

Ask your recruiter about how that changes your RSU grants.

Anything could happen. Talk to recruiter

Fuck I'm in the same boat OP, hope we don't get shafted

Let me know if you hear anything before me. I start July 1st, but this was such a surprise when I woke up.

We are learning all about it now; likely won't have info for at least another few hours.

Get early join date

Why would an early join date matter?

I am also in the same boat. Got my h1b transfer as well. What to do now

Same as the rest of us, ask your recruiter!

Google dumbfcuk Jun 10, 2019

Hope you have not told your current employer yet. If shit hits the fan forget about the offer and continue interviewing. You dont have to use all your h1 transfers and can just continue using your original h1 visa

That’s insider trading.

I am going to join tableau next Monday and heard about the salesforce news, will it impact me any ways, thoughts?

Tableau maybenot Jun 10, 2019

No this should have little to no impact on you other than the increased stock price since you signed and the changed stock symbol by the time of your first vest. Ask your recruiter or hiring manager for more details. Also welcome to tableau.

Recruiter told me it shouldn't affect the role I applied for. Tableau will remain an independant company until the acquisition is fully completed. No changes to stock package. Will have more info in the afternoon. They are in meetings all day as others have said.

Salesforce DWVG01 Jun 10, 2019

You might hit a home run here depending on how long the acquisition takes. Often times once the merger is fully completed all of your outstanding rsus vest immediately

Time will tell, thanks :)

Same boat. Good to know there is no change to stock plg.
