Generally, a great place to work; but lots of smoke/mirrors and lack of accountability
Pros
Many many amazing, talented people. The company is undeniably an economic force, and continues to maintain its momentum. Sound internal operations. Holds employees to high standards, which is fine and good until its not. Overall a very rewarding experience. You'll learn a ton, develop great relationships, and often write your ticket to great opportunities post-Salesforce.
Cons
Very much turning into Oracle. There's a science to success here and there are benchmarks to live up to. Like any other corporate environment, there are a lot of talented, smart, type-A individuals. Put too many people like this together and you run the risk of creating a toxic, impatient, self-interested culture. Sr. Management is pretty disconnected with what actually goes on the ground. Middle management is huge popularity contest. What bugged me this most is the preaching of diversity and inclusion, yet they constantly hire and promote a very disproportionate WHITE staff in their Sales org. Particularly evident in their Central teams. Very very few minority leaders and individual contributors are actually hired, retained, groomed for success, and promoted. It's almost as if they hire diversity to check a box for their board and shareholders? At the end of the day, yes, the best producers are rewarded, but if you're going to promote such values, at least walk the walk, because the company can definitely afford it.
