Pros

Bonus payouts were always paid at 100% Benefits were really good. I had a really great team and loved my coworkers Salesforce looks great on my resume.

Cons

There was no transparency in how promotions were decided and very little feedback to help get you to the next level. Employee Success is a joke at this company. It was total chaos trying to get anything done with way too many cooks in the kitchen. If you're an older employee, don't expect any of your previous work experience to mean anything. If it didn't happen at Salesforce, it didn't happen at all. Compensation is definitely lower than the other big tech firms in San Francisco. Stop using so Hawaiian jargon and ridiculous costume characters. It's a business, not a pre-school. No stock refresh for grade 7's in ES, even though we were eligible under the plan.

Pros

A lot of really good people who put their heart and soul into their work. Some of the most experienced and skilled folks you will ever work with. Marc's values have been the foundation for creating a inclusive company.

Cons

Seems to be more senior executives being hired don't personally believe in the values championed by Marc. A lot of focus with new management on rebranding and putting their stamp on the organization for the sake of change. Feedback is often requested, but there are boundaries to what can be said. One recent meeting a senior exec told their department to stop whining.

Thank you for your review and your commitment to Salesforce over the past 3 years. It's disheartening to hear that you feel we're no longer the company you initially joined. I can personally assure you that we're very intentional during the hiring process (at all levels, and especially with senior executives who manage whole teams) and we're committed to hiring individuals that are aligned and believe in our core values. We're interested in hearing more, can you please reach out to our third-party provider Ethicspoint at http://www.salesforce.ethicspoint.com to provide further details?

Great pay, well-rounded workforce (not as competitive as google/stripe/fb), work-life balance

Pros

Work life balance, volunteer time off

Cons

Poor middle management, managers need to be trained, sorely lacks diversity although posters show otherwise. Sadly another tech company run by white and Indian men and white women.
