Pros

1. Benefits : a. Free Cab, Food, b. Wellness reimbursement, Vision reimbursement.

Cons

1. No proper Hikes 2. complete politics based promotions and by the end of the day they will arrange a meeting and will tell some stories and add words called TRUST and TRANSPARENCY. 3. A lot of work pressure you need to work like a donkey. 4. All managers they will bring their brothers and relatives as employees even though they do not know ABC of Salesforce. 5. Managers will conduct the daily meeting with zero outcome and useless talks.

Pros

Great Benefits, pay is above average, overall if you are in one of their two hubs San Francisco or Indianapolis, you should enjoy your time working there.

Cons

The HR, IT, and other functions that are not core to the sales or development departments are poorly run and managed for those working in satellite locations. We are told the push is to hire internally and we should be given stretch opportunities. However, when you apply for these positions they go with outside candidates and say you need more time with Salesforce to understand the Salesforce culture or other made up requirements, which were not included in the job description. If you are in a non-core position and you do are not in San Francisco or Indianapolis you need to work 3 times as hard and 2 times as long to move anywhere in the company.

Pros

Marc Benioff is an envisionary leader. The innovation that he inspires as well as his passion to build a company that embraces equality and diversity makes for a compelling set of reasons to be part of this great company.

Cons

While the west coast may be working on meeting Marc's lofty goals, the midwest(specifically midwest CSG) is swiftly becoming the white male centric world. Women are not staying within various roles within CSG in growing numbers and it's becoming very obvious that this is a white man's world. If you read the Chicago Tribune this weekend, you will not that more and more diversity factors(black, Hispanic, etc) are leaving for more favorable areas from every company, not just SF. If anyone would do the data analysis for CSG Chicago, warning bells should go off. The executive leadership is slowly but surely driving women out of their workforce vs embracing Marc's culture.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a thoughtful review. Increasing diversity and creating true equality are issues that are top of mind for the entire leadership team, and we are working hard to make sure that everyone within Salesforce is invested in these important causes. We’ve made progress (particularly with Equal Pay, Equal Advancement and Equal Opportunity), but there’s still work to be done. I am sharing your feedback with key leaders in Chicago and globally as a reminder of how important these initiatives are. Please reach out to me if you’d like to talk through your concerns in more detail, and if you have any suggestions for achieving a better gender equality. If you are more comfortable, you can always safely and anonymously raise concerns via EthicsPoint. EthicsPoint can be reached at 1-866-294-3540 (US/Canada toll-free) or online at http://www.salesforce.ethicspoint.com/. I hope you will stick with Salesforce and work with us to make our company a more diverse and inclusive workplace that values and demonstrates equality for all.
