Salesforce reviews

Very very political Cannibalistic culture - never have I experienced employees treating other employees with such disrespect - quick to back stab - self serving Expected to answer emails and work 24/7 People will email you, then if you don't respond in 2 hours call you, then come to your desk. Unfair distribution of work - lots of people seemingly only have 1 or 2 things to do which warrants them sending multiple emails asking if you got their first two emails after a few hours. Sandbagging budgets - budget owners will make up headcount needs and cook the books to hold onto money and use it for self serving purposes rather than the good of business

There is corporate culture and there's departmental culture. The corporate culture at salesforce.com is still one of the best in the industry but the influx of Microsoft employees (particularly leadership positions) in Infrastructure Engineering under Randy Kern and Ed Harris have promoted an extremely top-down culture which is the antithesis of what Marc Benioff and Parker Harris stand for. This has resulted in a high-level of attrition which has left the infrastructure team limping along, unable to attract top talent and unable to make demonstrable progress towards a long-term roadmap.
