Pros

Interesting work if you can find the right product team. Transferring between teams is easy.

Cons

Vindictive upper management in several clouds. Many rookie managers converted from engineers who don't have a clue how to manage and have no political pull, and just pass all the crap downhill. Don't confront anyone or prove them wrong because they will inevitably go into management and take it out on you. Unless you are on one of the lucky teams working on new technology, the only technical advances you can do will be under the radar, and as soon as it becomes widely used someone will take it over and take credit, and proceed to manage it to death. Research on internal tools is completely suspended, only bandaids on ancient, poorly designed, insanely inflexible infrastructure is allowed.

Pros

Benioff is a genius. Company is doing fantastic. The sales and marketing groups are top notch. Great stock price. Casual work environment, working from home benefits, in SF.

Cons

I know some departments are really good. I just had this misfortune of working in two of the worst managed departments in the organization. Poor poor management. Dysfunction, Politics, Dis-information, self-delusions. The claim of being scrum is a scam. Gossip and back stabbing rule the day. The worst place I have ever worked.

Pros

: Salary Thats the only perk

Cons

1) They say Trust and equality is their No 1 value but they dont practise what they preach It has 10 days a quarter policy for all engineering folks worldwide except India We are expected to be in office 3 times more than others. Thanks for the Equality . Now they have started checking the employee badging through their amazing dashboards for managers. Thanks for the Trust . 2) The situation of food court becomes pathetic with lines longer than the ones seen infront of banks during demonitisation times. This is the case when all employeess were not coming to office daily. It takes a good 25 minutes to reach to one counter . God save you if u wish to eat salad along with ur normal meal . God knows what would be the situation with new policy. 4) With management and leadership has started doing more R-Rona . 5)They provide wellness reimbursement of 15k each quarter which you now cant use on fitness stuff or any other equipement. it gets wasted mostly and cant be carry forward . They have removed items which most employees used to buy and use this benefit for. 6) Car lease policy which is a hot ques in every quartely connect , is still neglected saying it not what most employees need. The fact is that the most asked / upvoted ques everytime 7) There is no team outing activities/trips that happen . Only trip that happens which occurs every 3 months is a lunch to a restaurant next to the building. 8)Work is also really boring in certain clouds . Feels like you are maintaining a website .
