      Visionary Company, but Politics and Egos Rule the Roost

      Lead member of technical staff
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Excellent core product - Bright engineers - Visionary company that tries to foster innovation - Make the right connections and you have it made - Learned more there than the rest of my career combined

      Cons

      - Politics, politics, politics - Smart people but out-of-control egos - Generally a company-wide smug attitude - Big disadvantage if you don't wok at HQ - It takes a real fight to get credit for anything positive, while you also have to fight to not have blame for failures pushed onto you - Poor management (both middle management and executives) - Horrible internal communication

      Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. While I’m pleased to hear you feel you’ve learned a lot from your time working with us, it sounds like we missed the mark in a couple of areas. Our leaders regularly read Glassdoor, so please be assured that your remarks regarding internal politics and your advice to senior management have been heard. Internal politics are directly opposed to our core values of Trust and Transparency. We are committed to making sure that our people feel that they know our company’s priorities, that they understand how they are contributing to those goals, and that they are recognized for helping us reach new heights. Your feedback is a reminder to all of our leaders of the importance of staying vigilant against politicking and striving always to do better in this area. Cindy Robbins EVP, Global Employee Success

      Great for the name and starting experience....look out for the Kool-Aid

      Pros

      - Salesforce has become the gold standard for B2B tech these days. No, recruiters won't be running to you, but you can feel "validated" as a sales person in the tech space after working there - The training for an entry level tech sales person is fantastic. They teach you how to approach opportunities/ accounts and push you to master these skills

      Cons

      - The Kool-Aid. You must LOVE the product, LOVE your team, LOVE your managers, LOVE the process. Oh, and you better LOVE going to happy hours, clubs and team outings with your coworkers. - Because of the terrible work/life balance, brown-nosing to get ahead is very very prevalent. There's a huge amount of gossip and "buy in" that's required. It's not a workplace for individuals, it's a workplace for THEIR individual.
