No work life balance

Pros

you get a lot of pretend time off, volunteer 7 days a year, free snacks in the office.

Cons

You'll work enough hours for 3 jobs, so take that into account when looking at your salary. You're expected to be available and working 24x7. You also need to be in the clique to get promoted or recognized in any way.

Pros

* Seriously great corporate culture and values * A sea of opportunities to learn Salesforce as a corporation is amazing. They have emphasis and enablement towards volunteering. Something I wish all companies take from them. I am giving the company 5 stars despite the headline and huge list of cons. I just want to warn any bright person out there to not be sold on the brand name. Also, it's a great place if you are in Sales and Marketing. There's a lot going around.

Cons

** Only meant for Dublin office * Don't mistake it for real Salesforce Almost negligible engineering presence. Very little to share and learn for engineering and software development. All kind of games being played as small number of staff wants to push into management. There's a huge hierarchy and it may be good on a global scale. But doesn't quite makes sense to have that in Dublin office. Some people are stuck in monotonous work and see move to management their only way out and act in poor spirit. If you are looking for good work and team, don't bother. Join a startup instead. Current state of Dublin office is worse than that. If it wasn't for larger organisation holding it to a structure, the place had been much more chaotic

Lots to learn, but comes at great personal cost

Pros

- Great teammates from variety of industries - VTO and giving back to company keeps me motivated to be a force for change in our community - Lots of great tools to train on - Excited about the new products (IoT cloud, Lighting, etc)

Cons

- No work life balance - only way to handle daily work load is to sacrifice nights and weekend personal time. So alternative is to fall behind to stay sane. - No time to use the great tools for training - Politics beyond anything ever experienced in an organization - Self-branding is more important than team branding (superhero culture) - Workload changes rapidly, in my org - change is slow (from a structure perspective)

While I'm glad to hear that you are learning and are excited by Salesforce's products, Volunteer Time Off and people, the lack of work-life balance you express in your review is concerning. We encourage employees and managers to have regular conversations about how they are doing and to make sure we are all taking care of ourselves and each other. We know our people do their best work when they are also prioritizing important things outside of work like family, friends and hobbies. If you have ideas on how we can improve, my door is always open. Cindy Robbins EVP, Global Employee Success
