Pros

Great opportunity to work with enterprise-level software. Great benefits. Some emphasis on mindfulness and wellness (as long as it doesn't interfere with work).

Cons

Salesforce boasts of impressive principles and champions forward-thinking. However, there are dozens of Indianapolis-based teams operating within a shame-based culture; teams led by managers who neither lead nor manage. Leaders are supposed to inspire and support their engineers. Instead, these "leaders" ridicule and demand their teams work at an unsustainable pace until engineers change teams or leave the company altogether.

Culture, People, and WLB is fake

Pros

Large office in SF, all around well known, decent compensation but no equity (not software role). I'd only recommend Salesforce if you have a family and/or want to do minimal work (or none at all) to rest & vest

Cons

I feel lied to. Everybody talks about the "culture" and "greatness" of Salesforce but I realized it's all a marketing illusion. Everything is political and coworkers have no sense of compassion or inclusion. People at the company are seemingly fake as well, they give off a pleasant vibe but turn around and trash talk other employees. The work is very bland and the product itself is legacy and uninteresting. There's no room for creativity and innovation at all. I don't understand how Salesforce is at the cutting edge of technology when the product itself is easily reproduced. Benefits and perks are subpar compared to other SF/Bay Area tech, no free lunch, no phone or commuter benefits.

Pros

CEO Mark Benioff pushes for inclusive and equality culture.

Cons

Unfortunately the hiring managers don’t practice the company values. If you are a minority especially African American don’t bother applying for any senior positions . These jobs go to hiring managers friends who are white men and white women no matter how qualified you are. The recruiters are biased and they already know who the hiring managers “friends “ will be filling the positions. Minorities are only interviewed for EEOC statistics tracking. It’s a joke.
