“#DreamJob” does not hold up anymore.

Pros

Ohana! This applies only If you are in the right department/team and have competent manager. I see this on other teams with better leaders. So I know it does exist. - CEO - Benefits - Salesforce Platform (hands down the best and only getting better.)

Cons

- Middle management - Politics - My experience as a whole and expectations has been sadly the biggest disappointment of my career. Maybe because I didn’t realize this company is all smoke and mirrors. - Management can make or break the experience. In my case, my manager single handily destroyed my actual dream job and crushed my career dreams at Salesforce that I was so passionate about. - The endless micro-management and lack of TRUST - My contributions to the team and to our customers is overlooked and undervalued. It does not matter how much you contribute or knowledgeable of the platform to make customers happy you are, it will not be valued unless you suck up to management. - The middle management I have interacted with is useless. They only show up to collect a paycheck. - Feed back app is used to gauge employee and manager. Although if you give management actual feedback via app or survey with anything negative, you will receive retaliation. - 1:1 meetings are one direction (for managers) and not the employee.

Salesforce is a great company to work for BUT...

Pros

The culture, benefits and atmosphere are fantastic, they treat their employees exceptionally well

Cons

The territory assignments are exceptionally difficult. When someone leaves Salesforce, it's not because of the culture, it's because they can't make a living.

Pros

Technology Compensation Sales Techniques Leadership and Strategy Innovation

Cons

Many employees are treated really bad and are forced to go to court Most Managers have their favourites and assign strong territories to them HR is always takes the Managers side if things turn against you The pressure is very high and if you do't perform for a while they try to get rid of you quick Year over year things get worse...the Aloha spirit is gone, great people are leaving
