Pros

You're never the smartest person in the room and you will improve year on year. Incredible network and the opportunity to work with leaders at one of the world's most exciting company. Good pay and benefits

Cons

If you don't like constant change, you'll hate Salesforce. If you say "yes" to everything you'll fail. You need laser focus here. High pressure environment with a few sharks on the prowl.

Pros

I love the people around me (less so in the French office) and I feel like I made some of my best friends here. My managers are flexible and trust me, don't apply a micromanagement style which works best for me. I feel hugely appreciated and respected by my team. Whenever I wan't to do something my way, I will usually get a go to do it. The benefits are great, but only if you hit or come close to your target. I am free to take days off whenever it suits me and don't feel pressured in working harder before or after my PTO to make up for it. I work in the Public Sector patch which is the last high-growth BU, which is a thriving environment.

Cons

Targets are very high and in most roles you're working on a saturated market. Prospecting is very difficult as you sometimes only have 3-10 accounts to work with in total, but the target seems to be created from a growth mindset where every account is going through a full digital transformation. Base salaries are relatively low (compared with similar organisations), so if you're not blessed with a great patch, you are going through tough times. The organisation is focused on selling, selling, selling, and less so on pre-sales engineer support or customer success once the deal is sold.

Thank you for your feedback. Transparency is very important to us and we highly encourage all team members to participate and be part of the team and company vision. I'd encourage you to have a chat with your manager about your experience. Or, if you feel more comfortable, you could speak with your Employee Success Business Partner about your experience so you can make a plan moving forward.
