      An OK company overall -- but avoid Hillsboro, OR Office

      Technical support
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice office. Lots of bells and whistles. Lots of snacks and drinks. Great kitchen. There's a barista/ coffee bar.

      Cons

      The Hillsboro office culture is completely different disconnected from the culture at headquarters. Tech Support is a dead-end. They lure in new employees and recent college grads with "career development" talk, time to study and get other certifications, job shadowing, etc. You quickly learn none of that will ever happen. Getting a tech support job in Hillsboro will NOT help you get another job in a different department or location -- it can only hinder you, if anything. They're also constantly pressuring employees into working overtime because they're understaffed, but don't want to hire. The pay doesn't match the pressure and stress. The fancy office and the fluff doesn't make up for all of this, even though they hope it does.

      Great company to add to your resume

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      All the benefits you could imagine are available to you. You'll work with really smart, competitive people. You will probably do the best work of your career at Salesforce.com. You will build a network of amazing colleagues, and you will experience projects, processes, and work that is absolutely the cutting edge. If possible to work in San Francisco, that's the best place where all the really great things about Salesforce.com come together.

      Cons

      After 3 years you will be burned out and no further ahead in your career. If you find you are not burned out, congratulations! You are among the super-humans who can handle working 60 hours a week, playing politics, and working in a whirlwind environment. You know who you are - you run triathalons and scale mountains! If, however, you wish to have a balance in life, after 3 years you will start to look elsewhere for your next career move. Having Salesforce.com on your resume will open many doors for you, so you can take your career in any direction - start-up, mid-sized company, start out on your own, large company - you name it! So go ahead, take that job at Salesforce.com, just know it's a step in the right direction toward where you really want to be!

      Morphing into Oracle - Not a good thing

      Sales engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great products. Great Customers. Great CEO and vision. Great comp and perks.

      Cons

      Work-Life balance is very difficult to achieve in Sales organization. Constantly changing management with lots of Oracle culture seeping into Salesforce and it's not good. I feel like I'm back at Oracle now - not fun. This was not the case when I joined Salesforce 3 years ago. Many Oracle managers have not embraced the Salesforce culture, and have increased demands on sales performance, micro-managing, excess administrivia. The workload has increased with staffing not keeping pace. Over-sized workload is contributing to employee burn-out and compromising performance. And it's getting worse. Nothing matters but $$$ to most managers hired from Oracle. Loved the company when I started but my opinion has soured over the last 1-2 years.
