Unless you are single and have a lot of free time, I recommend you look elsewhere for jobs.
-Team got so large in 2016, what used to be a friendly culture becomes more of less corporate like.
-Ex-CEO left, the whole RelateIQ CRM product is getting killed out at some points.
-Constantly pivot with fears one day the product is not competitive.
-The motto is people, idea, moment and RESULT, yes, result is the only they care regardless of how we achieve it.
-Some of the management here are very junior and got converted from early day RelateIQ engineers. With a mindset of moving fast and ridiculously unorganized, this put a whole lot of work on engineers. A lot of LEGACY code that got produced without being thoughtfully planned out. This leads to a lot of hard to trace bugs.
-A lot of PM here are super junior who have no clue what's the product development is. This leads to product decision delay, etc. Product planning is totally a joke here. No Scrum of any sort, the process puts a lot of weight on engineer to figure out the problems and solutions. The only thing the PM really does here is to send out email releases when something is about to release.
-Lots of young engineers who only care about deliver cool features fast which sacrifices the quality. If you happen to work on a feature last, you are the single point of contact and have to maintain the whole load of it.
-Watch out for all the good perks, at some points, when SalesforceIQ is fully melted into Salesforce family, these perks will also go away. Take a look at the Fraiche account, the Lyft credit, the housing stipend, they are all gone.
-Don't let the offer congratz email blast from the recruiting and engineering team cloud your judgement. All the things about the family like culture and what's not, this culture is no longer respected.
-Some middle managers are control freaks who like to micro manage every of you move.
-Every Friday demo is just a hacky thing that squeezes out your extra work and you feel obligated to demo something to the company.
-The quarterly Hackday mentality is just another way you work extra hard and late night to produce something really cool.
