Pros

- Good Comp - You don't really have to work hard

Cons

- Racism is prevalent everywhere. Unless you speak Hindi or are a South Indian, white male, expect no growth. They speak Hindi in meetings, and are not inclusive at all to others outside this group - Liars. They won't tell you the real function of the job. They claim to be great at tech, but its all very outdated technology. It moves very slowly, so don't expect to work on anything new while at Salesforce - Absent management. Managers are never around and they won't help. They are also racist if they are South Indian. They choose to talk only to others on the team of the same race as them and only promote those individuals - Your work will be stolen by more senior engineers and management won't side with you. The Indian engineers will take your ideas or overwrite your commits and claim they did it. This happened a good amount of times

Pros

Benefits are ok - that’s about it

Cons

You basically work in a sweatshop as an AE. I’d honestly love know who they are interviewing and how Salesforce is winning “best company to work for” because it’s definitely not the sales team. Quotas are completely impossible to hit. I had a 1.1 million dollar quota for a territory that made $200,000 TOTAL the year before. You tell me how that adds up?! On top of that, I was putting in 11-12 hour work days (which is encouraged, might I add) and only making 3% commission on every deal I closed even though I grew my little territory over 80%. You make no money here, you are not compensated fairly and when brought up to management they sweep it under the rug and deflect. Management and leadership plays favorites and gives larger, More tech savvy territories to AEs who are not skilled but rather, who they party with. Yet we all have the same quotas (unless you actually have a lower quota bc you’re a favorite too).
