Salesforce... the new Oracle

Sales executive

Pros

Very smart people. 111 foundation. Marc (CEO) really cares for employees and customers.

Cons

Sales execs really do not care about customer sat. Sales execs are competitor focused vs customer focused. Salesforce used to buy selective technologies to integrate in our core product... now Salesforce just buys companies to drive our stock up.

Pros

* Company has a fantastic vision. * Undeniably the leader in B2B CRM. * A wonderful marketing engine * Hitting incredible heights in cloud revenue. * Very good benefits

Cons

* Unless a VP you are a very small fish in a very large ocean * Unless you embrace all facets and say the right things to the right people, you are a number. * Making change is extremely hard. * Sales is the only focus. Dont be fooled otherwise. * If you are male and middle aged you wont progress. (I fully believe in gender equality)

Worst kind of politics

Anonymous employee

Pros

You can get to learn politics here with practical examples

Cons

Salesforce Hyderabad is becoming famous for politics now. Every new team in hyderabad is getting local managers who are spoiling every good reason to work here. Latest example is the new security team in hyderabad. The people in the team are already looking for new jobs. Managers have done all the politics possible and instead of firing people they just create such a work environment that people themselves start leaving. The only people who will remain are those that know how to keep the managers happy. Politics and micro management are the only things that you will see here.

We are listening, and the Employee Success team in India, along with our teammates from the region and at HQ are working on an action plan to better align the experience of employees in India with our core company culture and values. Please stick with us, continue giving us feedback, and together we can make Salesforce a Great Place to Work for All. My door is always open if you or any other employee wants to speak with me.
