Salesforce reviews

Salesforce has an interesting way of recognizing and measuring success, which is mostly driven by tooting your own horn. The practice of "building you brand" is more important to your career than doing intelligent and meaningful work. The company is driven by sales and this causes unrealistic expectations on both the sales side as well as product rollout. Many (but not all) of the low to mid level managers are either unqualified or strive too hard to please superiors. The company is more focused on showing and telling about how great it is than actually being great.

- We are told that trust is one of their corporate goals. That was not my experience! The amount of back stabbing at the leadership level where HR had to get involved was min blowing! This also cascaded down to the teams - During my first career conversation with my manager. He spent 25 minutes of a 30 minute mtg talking about how good he is. - My manager doubled my work load over night without asking if I had extra capacity. I set expectations that balls could drop due to being over allocated to which he said let’s see how it goes. Balls were dropped and I got dinged for it in my performance review!! - Senior exec’s played favorites and changed their minds daily and didn't care how this impacted the team - No team moral or fun was had!! - I was told that we are encourage to find new roles if the one you are in wasn’t a good fit. I did that and my manager wouldn’t let me leave…. I hate to say all the above in a public forum but whilst I was there I didn’t feel as if I had a voice and worried if I did express my concerns I would have been fired…
