Pros

-company uses their own product and it works well, fast pace environment with knowledgable people around -good for young folks in their 20 who are starting out, esp. in the US -salary is competitive to the market

Cons

-management that discriminates based on health condition and how much PTO you take ( even though in Europe its dictated by law), I got sick pretty badly and my manager was holding that against me until I actually left the company, after being with the company top performer for 14 yrs. -American view on PTO, even for employees in Europe, who are implied to take same amount of PTO as their US counterpart if they want any promotion - lack of complete transparency on annual reviews or any explanation or discuss thereafter from manager to employee, management granted bad review because I was out ill and prior to that was top performer for over a decade . Therefore impacting one career just because of one man's decision. -massif Layoffs happening at the same time as new people are being hired in the same team is just wrong and no one seems to care. Company does not live its values of caring for employees wellbeing, ok if you work very long hours, but if you get very ill because you have been working night and day under stress, then they much rather to replace you then take care of you.

Pros

I've spent over 8 years with Salesforce in various management and individual contributor roles, all customer or partner facing. Some of the pros: - vibrant, fast paced culture - smart, fun, aggressive colleagues - management is focused on latest tech trends and staying or becoming a leader for many of them - by and large, customers and partners are very positive about the technology - good benefits and perqs - hip urban culture at HQ - a chart-your-own-course mentality that rewards those who aggressively seek out the job they want and pursue it, or sometimes even create it

Cons

After my long tenure and many Dreamforce conferences, I'm nearly fried. To say the culture is fast paced and the focus is always changing is an understatement. The reason Salesforce always seems on top, and chasing the latest trend, and in the press, is because employees are expected to run harder, carry more, cheer loudly, and pivot constantly. It's the world's biggest startup in behavior. But at the same time, with the recent influx of top career sales leaders from Oracle and what appears to be a board-level mandate for doubling revenue, employees are being asked to do even more with even less, fill higher quotas with smaller territories, less help, and the big company bureaucracy is rearing it's ugly head. Worse still is the politics. When you hire a bunch of smart, aggressive people, and put them in an environment of outsized expectations, throw in a bunch of re-orgs and changing management, and sprinkle with uncertainty and constantly changing priorities, you inevitably get people back stabbing each other and throwing others under the bus to appear smarter and more worthy of promotion. The few at the top will get very, very rich. The rest will lose the sense of personal ownership and start to wonder why they've given up health and family

It's not often that you get the opportunity to respond to a review 10 years in but your comprehensive and thoughtful review has managed to hold on as one of our most popular even a decade in :) It’s exciting to see that the things we love most about the Salesforce of today — super smart colleagues, being at the forefront of tech trends and establishing ourselves as leaders in the space, great benefits and perks to name a few — haven’t changed in the past 10 years. We acknowledge the challenges you faced, such as the pace, shifting priorities, and internal politics. Your advice on maintaining our foundational vision while avoiding big-company bureaucracy is helpful as we continue to grow as the #1 AI CRM. Salesforce is committed to balancing growth with employee well-being and staying true to our core values. We appreciate your insights and dedication over the years. Thanks again for your feedback!
