Pros

Growing company. Visionary CEO. Have met some great friends working here. Fun vibe in the office, and in a great location.

Cons

95%+ of the Sales team is under quota, it is way too saturated now The product is native to Salesforce.com, but that's about it. No other real value proposition. And the buyers of our products could care less about the SF platform, so our only real value-add is marginal at best. The company touts a strong alliance with Salesforce.com, but the love is not reciprocated. This 'little brother complex' creates a lot of problems and unrealistic expectations. If you're in Sales, be prepared to pound the phone, work your butt off and maybe get lucky closing some deals. But even then, you'll still probably get laid off.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We agree; our CEO is an awesome visionary! I'm sorry to hear that your experience at FinancialForce sales hasn't been what you thought it should be. I would encourage you to reach out to the Employee Success teams we can look into some of the concerns you've highlighted with you. As a rapidly growing company, we do move fast and it can seem sometimes like we are getting spread thin. We always focus on making sure that doesn't happen. If you feel that is the case, please reach out to me so I can help. We use all feedback, positive and constructive, to continually improve. Thank you again!
