Salesforce reviews

- The biggest shock to me: how bad lower-level management is. Idk where these people came from but they are micromanaging, unrealistic, unhelpful, insulting...like the list really goes on. Maybe my expectations were too high coming to this amazing company but there needs to be more training for leaders. - Promotion process is terrible, you're expected to "network" to find any answers to anything and it ends up being a huge waste of time more often than not. And don't even think about leaving the sales org. Managers don't help and People across the company look down on BDRs. Also, the pay compared to other places is not good at all. $50K base in seat and after you promote to the next step. OTE increases in next role but not base salary no matter what you promo into. - High metrics, low commission - Like any other sales role, you are made to feel as though you are only as good as your numbers - The metrics are INSANE. Everyone knows people are just BS'ing their way through bc the metrics are so unrealistic - Work-life balance is horrible if you're actually trying to do your job the legit way and its high stress all the time despite whatever is going on in the world - Snobby AEs that are selfish but no one cares if you're hitting your number

Lost its way. Culture has deteriorated and become progressively more toxic. Become a "crony club", same people continue to be promoted. Behind the smoke and mirrors, there are lots of product issues, career planning is non-exsistent, former Oracle leaders continue to foster a toxic culture. Marc B is too busy with other priorities and his celebrity lifestyle, that he is disconnected with what is happening on the ground with the culture and customers. This year's planning and re-organization were short-sighted and poorly executed. Executives very focused on short term results and lacking in long term strategic focus. It is a house of cards financially and constant fiscal engineering to prop up the numbers for the street. Sales and marketing lack any fiscal restraint-- spend money like drunken sailors. There are no responsible adults minding the store.
