Pros

Good product vision. Phenomenal following and loyalty of clients.

Cons

Too many managers worrying about getting ahead and looking good vs focus on clients and employees. Degrading behavior and not recognizing or acknowledging different experiences and views. Only select few making money

Pros

-You can be super lazy, not work at all and get paid at industry standard (that is what majority of people do here)

Cons

-Incompetent people with titles as 'research scientist' and 'research engineers' -You would instantly lose attraction to companies like Google/Facebook/Apple/Amazon if you go here. Common perception is that they hire lazy low-tier engineers/scientist -Many of the 'researchers/research scientists' do not even have a PhD. They are students/friends of the people in management who hire them without rigorous interviews - You won't learn anything since there is no innovation going on here. This will be problematic if you try to get a job at a real company and they ask you about your past experience.

Pros

-benefits -office environment and amenities -parties have a ton of budget -you can skate by doing the bare minimum

Cons

-Maybe well intentioned initially but equality at Salesforce is facade to hide the injustices that frequently take place -The Chief Equality Officer has been with the company for 2.5 years yet the stats are the same, 63.17% white/ 2.79% black is unacceptable -However the more important stat should be how many diverse/ POCs leave the company as the culture is not truly inclusive and opportunity is not equal -Perhaps the stats should drill down further and show the percentage of white leaders at the company -Equality awards are a ploy and PR stunt -Diverse employees are used as marketing tools to hide the true makeup of the company, it degrading
