Good depending on department

Pros

Central location in downtown SF Volunteering Time Off Work with a lot of intelligent people

Cons

Fake culture - depending on your department, all the "best place to work" image isn't true. Salesforce spends a lot of money making the company look amazing but internally, they don't treat their employees that great (depending on department of course). Company also wastes a lot of money on frivolous things just to add to this image

Thank you for leaving us this feedback. Culture is not something we take for granted, and we're continuing to work hard every day to make this a great place to work for all. As I'm sure you know, we're continuing to undergo incredible growth here at Salesforce – which also means continually improving processes and procedures. If you're comfortable, and you feel there are valuable insights you'd like to share in this area, I'd recommend that you connect with your Employee Success Business Partner directly. The best ideas on how we can improve often come from passionate and loyal employees like you. Thank you for your 3 years of service to the company, it's greatly appreciated!

Pros

Best enterprise software company to work for! Great resume builder and room to grow in your career. Amazing leaders.

Cons

Salesforce has not been able to produce final compensation plans for the year and it's near September. Also the comp plan was massive shift in the companies favor (maybe to pay for recent acq's). Details in comp plan effect percentage payout, and they know the sales folks are up to speed on it now. Most enterprise software commissions for sales are in the 7-13% range. Salesforce has let a room full of analysts change it so you make 3% if you don't sell the type of contract they want. A lot of talented sales folks have left.

Chicago Office Needs Help

Anonymous employee

Pros

Great products that really help businesses, awesome benefits, smart coworkers, option to take time off to volunteer, constant change due to acquisitions (very exciting and fun)

Cons

The Chicago office is a boys club. Lots of senior sales leaders/VP’s got away with inappropriate behavior for a long time due to lack of HR presence in the office. Very political and promotions are a popularity contest. Also needs more racial and gender diversity-much improved but still a long way to go.
