Pros

- Great job if you love working to help close deals without a true “quota” - Not mundane and the same thing over and over - Good pay - you can be creative in problem solving customer’s needs

Cons

- Very much self taught. Some training is good on teams, but if you aren’t technical naturally you might struggle - Work life balance is overall great. There are times when you’ll work insane hours for a week, but then in turn you usually have 1-2 really light weeks. If you don’t like that it might be tough. I enjoy it though. - The job has morphed into customer success lately. Too much “post sale” discussion which takes away from pre-sale work - Wildly political. As in literal government politics. Employees will openly talk about liberal agendas and bash any right leaning idea. If you say ANYTHING right leaning you’re shunned. All in the name of “inclusivity”. Doesn’t seem very inclusive.

Balance of great and no-so-great

Pros

Pay is very competitive. Benefits are great. There are wonderful people throughout the entire company, and it's easy to build great relationships. The overall Salesforce culture is solid and inclusive. The options for continuous learning are abundant. It's often a destination company for those working in the tech industry.

Cons

The necessity to be a high-performing culture in every aspect can be exhausting. If you overachieve in your existing role and excel in stretch work outside of your role, the response is "do more" and excellence often feels like it isn't good enough. The yearly reorg that brings a new manager, role changes/definitions, layoffs, and the sense of starting over is fatiguing. The 401k match is minimal.

Pros

Competitive salary, great benefits, stock options for a growing company, snacks, and awesome office environment.

Cons

The path to promotion can take a while since there is a certain budget allocated to each department. For example, out of the 300 people on the marketing team, there was only enough "budget" for 3 people to get promoted in a year.
