      Losing its luster to typical corporate BS

      Senior marketing manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compensation, location, legit commitment to philanthropy. Lots of friendly people. Dreamforce is unique. Stock keeps going up. Lots of free booze everywhere if that's your thing.

      Cons

      Lipstick on a pig: Salesforce is the fun, friendly corporation but it's still a corporation. Most of the leaders rose to the top bc they're sociopaths who embraced the corporate game - just like at any other big Corp. politics trump innovation. Things move slowly. The tech is outdated. The website is horrible.

      Your experience here depends on luck

      Pros

      good brand name on resume, fast paced, you can learn a lot, smart coworkers. nice office. competitive salary.

      Cons

      Very top down company. Constantly changing directions with unreasonable deadlines to deliver--then change again! Every project is a fire drill. Frequent re-orgs, highly competitive and political, back-stabbing culture. Lots people burn out and quit. If you happen to end up in a team with a good leader who is part of the 'in-crowd' with his/her top management, you will probably do well. But again, that can change without much notice since re-orgs happen every 3 months. Think before you join. Not bad to get it on resume then move on

      It's Like College

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's Like College: plenty of happy hours and alcohol, very social...but can also stay in and work on code if you're not up for a party It's Like College: most people stay 2-4 years, and there's a growing alumni association...Salesforce also looks good on a resume so people often get great jobs afterwards It's Like College: you find the crowd you want to hang out with, and some can become friends for life, while others become acquaintances whom you want to stay in touch with because you know they'll do great things later on It's Like College: you can be really intense, and work hard, or you can do the online version, i.e. work from home all the time...the out-of-sight/out-of-mind employee often has the longest tenure

      Cons

      It's Like College: there are a lot of bright engineers with wonderful, though impractical, theories, and operations often suffers due to a lack of people with more grounded, experienced perspectives It's Like College...you can even graduate early: If you're promoted, you're even more likely to stay less than four years, being a VP in operations is like being the drummer in Spinal Tap, you'll mysteriously leave one day and be replaced by someone else...who will also also leave under bizarre circumstances in 9 months It's Like College: when you make it to five years, you start to feel like all your friends have graduated and moved on, and you're the old guy telling stories about 2009 It's Like College: much of the technology the company uses was developed when I was still a university student It's Like College: there's a lot of unusual PR that's used to help sell the place to new recruits It's Like College...in North Korea: Your job is a dream! Post that to your Facebook and LinkedIn, and do it now!
