Do not come here if you are good at coding

Pros

Brand awareness - outside people know what is salesforce, at least heard of salesforce.

Cons

If you are good at coding then you have no scope here at Salesforce, at least that is the case at most of the teams. You have to use the proprietary frameworks build by Salesforce for Salesforce without any documentation or proper training. Not to mention your interest in learning those proprietary frameworks will go to drain as soon as you realize you have to spend literally hours if not days to test your code in development mode even for one line of code change. You will be working on a monolith where people break the build pipelines every week that can slow you down further. This will not only hinder from improving your skills, it will slowly but surely will drain what ever coding skills you already have. Now the pip culture has taken over the engineering teams. Salesforce has changed their internal rules to make it very easy for managers to pip people. Manager are not required to have any solid proof - just a quip doc written by your manager saying you did not meet expectation is good enough to pip. If Salesforce want to improve the standards they have to first improve the monolith and improve the monetary incentives to the employees like Amazon. Salesforce now has the pip culture of Amazon, minus the big pay checks.

Pros

Easy to not be held accountable

Cons

Easy for everyone to not be held accountable, especially leaders. Sales marketing making up things about AI make us look like clowns in the industry. Impossible to win anything AI as we bring people with liberal arts degrees as AI experts because they know how to use chatgpt as our champions over actual research and engineers.
