Pros

1. Good Office infrastructure. 2. Good Perks and benefits to employee.

Cons

1. From top to bottom telgu managers are there talking in telgu everywhere. 85% of employee in India are telgu and they are not maintaining diversity . Non telgu will be lost in a telgu world. Telgu managers are ruining salesforce culture. 2.All benefits like promotions,etc will be given to telgu first and even non-telgu do better work then telgu people they will be considered at the end. 3.Work burden will be more on non-telgu but benefits will be given to telgu people.

Pros

Team of intelligent marketers, producing incredible work. People genuinely want to help the team as a whole to succeed. Company as a whole, provides great benefits.

Cons

Some people within marketing do not get the opportunities, support, resourcing and overall fair treatment in comparison with others. There is a clear divide in the way that particular individuals are treated as favourites i.e. getting preferred treatment, more resourcing, more recognition, while others get nothing. Culture within the team is extremely toxic. People grandstand and backstab to get ahead of others. Louder individuals with bias from the marketing leadership team succeed, others do not.

Pros

Good work-life balance, smart individual contributors, good company culture, nice facilities

Cons

Recruiting at Salesforce is all about favoritism and politics. Promotions are political and unfair. Leadership has been telling their people that they are working on a fair and unbiased promotion process for years, but there is no proof that any work has been done. Management can often make employees feel like they are replaceable. I hate to break it to them, but smart/talented recruiters do not find Salesforce Recruiting a compelling enough organization to work for. If leadership wants to retain people, they need to have productive conversations around succession planning and salary increases. Salesforce Recruiters and Sourcers severely underpaid. Recruiting leadership preaches about how Salesforce is ahead of the game with URM (under-represented minorities) recruiting. In reality, it is nothing but a numbers game for them. The more hires they make, the better they look in front of Marc Benioff. They've been so fixated on increasing the numbers, that they've completely forgotten the meaning/importance of having a diverse workplace. How about we change the narrative from "we need to hit our URM numbers every quarter," to "lets think about the importance of cognitive diversity and thought."
