Cons

Lower than industry avg pay Commission structure only benefits Salesforce Territories are super saturated with under utilized shelf ware Management is on a 1-year campaign tour if best - very transactional culture No territory ownership by your co-primes who just wait for you to usher in the c-level intros Super political - and not just Marc’s outspoken political stance Get ready to google yourself to knowledge as the onboarding is atrocious and entirely virtual

Pros

- Fantastic Benefits - Amazing Office Space - Smartest People in Industry - Great Products (at a high level) - Competitive Salary and Great Overachievement Earnings - Philanthropic and encourages use of your time to volunteer - Great company to have on your CV.

Cons

What they're doing is working at a business level. The company is a rocket ship, still. But it's at the expense of its people. Below are a few of the cons I find most frustrating. - Micro Management on an extreme scale. I joined just before the pandemic and it has gotten continually worse since being forced to work from home. You don't feel trusted. - Unrealistic workloads. - Encouraged to manage your work life balance but chastised if you actually do it. I've been scolded for having my car serviced at 2pm, or taking annual leave at a quarter cut off to celebrate a birthday. - Meetings for meetings sake burning precious time. - Saturated account sets. Prospects get bombarded continually from all angles of Salesforce and have been for over a decade. - Lead generation is down to you. You have to be BDR, AE and even SE on some opportunities, unless you're in the enterprise/strategic accounts. I have not had more than 3 leads passed to me in almost 18 months. - Always an "urgent" action that needs to be taken. Often which is not directly impacting your ability to engage with clients.

Similar to most companies, we’re in unchartered territory in this new digital-first world. However, we remain committed to continuing to put the tools in place to create Success From Anywhere.
