Pros

The startup culture that still somewhat exists here. Work from home is great if they'll let support be a part of that. Pay and benefits are great. You feel safe to work here in terms of equality. Salesforce really does shine in this realm.

Cons

The push for productivity on top of enormous amount of learning material pushed on people here is unrealistic and stress inducing. During the pandemic more work was given than less. Getting a promotion requires you to push numbers rather than do work that benefits the team. All of the number fibbers and cherry pickers are the ones getting the back rubs here. Work/life balance is not respected all that much. It's stated that you should strive for a work/life balance, but the amount of work given does not allow it, and you'll usually find yourself frantically looking for extra time to fulfill work that's been unrealistically dumped on you. KPIs are unrealistic given the extension of some issues that customers raise. Upper management makes quick uneducated changes that usually goes against what everyone in the org would recommend, but they do it anyways.

Pros

- PEOPL E: Talents pool and International Growth Strategy always keeps things interesting and exciting - RESOURCES: The V2MOM is an amazingly useful tool, that can truly allow teams to align on leadership values and priorities, and maximize team performance. - VALUES: Community volunteering is very much encouraged

Cons

After multiple reOrgs, acquisitions, and quarantine: - VISION: Leadership misalignment is on the rise, as illustrated by the recent departure of many OG leaders, and increasing feedback from the battle grounds - CULTURE: Self-serving employees mobbing mentality is trending UP, due to competition and despite HR policies, and psychological safety is most definitely trending DOWN
