Got too big

Business Outlook

Pros

The product was well liked by their customers. Many customers fought hard in their company to keep Slack. Salesforce is a good company and tries to do the right thing.

Cons

Sales management was very negative. There is no positive feedback or coaching. It is a constant beat down. Salesforce got so big that the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing between Slack and Salesforce. Slack Regional Managers would often complain about Salesforce and its employees on team calls.
