Not worth it

Pros

Great paid health benefits. RSUs that vest fairly quickly. Yearly bonus is nice too. The offices offer a lot of free food and snacks.

Cons

Weirdest interview process ever. Very difficult on boarding process. Training is lackluster with no unified processes for helping new hires be successful. Pay is low!! I’m not kidding. You will not get paid what you’re worth here. It’s a company wide policy. High turnover and they’re constantly hiring to fill those lost positions.

Monotonous & Stressful Work

Pros

Market leading product. Good salary (if you're hitting quota). Lots of sales training. Trips to the US. Free food. Do well and you may well be promoted quicker than at other companies.

Cons

If you're applying for a sales role within the Commercial team, know that this is a glorified call centre. Client-facing opportunities arise but you're told you can't leave the office. Meanwhile client is telling you the competition is delighted to come out and see them. Micro management that prefer the stick to the carrot. Growth plans are aggressive and the pressure trickles down. Long sales cycle (although management will insist it doesn't need to be) so it's hard to land big deals within 6 month probation. Inequality across the territories - be prepared to see some of your colleagues booking constant "blue bird" deals or having partners book 50%+ of their deals whilst you're bending over backwards for a single license deal.

Pros

The product is awesome. It's easy to sell a genuinely awesome product you know can help people. The product is an industry leader and SF is even bigger so the names alone help the sale.

Cons

SF killed the company I loved. Tableau wasn't perfect but it was pretty amazing all things considered. Big enough company to carry a global name, yet there was a lot of room for creative freedom regarding how you owned and operated your business and your time. SF completely murdered all sense of individuality and creativity. It's extremely corporate now. Red tape everywhere. Everything has a process... almost all preposterously long and convoluted. More mandatory trainings than I've ever seen... I have nothing against training if they are actually going to bring value. But they roll out mandatory trainings just to tick boxes. TOTAL LACK OF DIVERSITY. OMG, can we have more white men in leadership roles? Nope. Just an endless sea of mediocre white men who only want to lead for the titles with their bros.
