Thank you for your feedback. It's disappointing for us to hear what you have listed in your cons section, particularly in regards to not feeling as though you are getting support from management. We also certainly encourage your honest responses when answering surveys. If you feel that this has not been the case, I'd like you to reach out to your local Employee Success Business Partner to discuss this in more detail. If you would prefer to remain anonymous however, it would be appreciated if you could reach out to our third-party provider Ethicspoint at http://www.salesforce.ethicspoint.com (http://www.salesforce.ethicspoint.com/) so that we could investigate this further.

Pros

* Working with talented people * Great Sales Academy * Some benefits are great * Rewards can be great such as Experience Club * Great stepping stone to join other companies in Dublin such as Google, Facebook or any other tech company.

Cons

I have worked in other companies before and Salesforce seemed great in the beginning but its really the new Oracle in a disguise. * High turnover of staff * Nepotism / 'Boys Club' environment * No transparency * The internal promotion process is questionable * Cheating to hit targets, quid pro quo if you have a network * Management will not listen to feedback (expect that they turn it against you) * Hard to maintain work/life balance * Ohana is just marketing * Micro management * No lunch at all and the breakfast is just cereal * The office location is far away from the centre
