Pros

Smart and motivated team of recruiters Great benefits Great pay Philanthropy

Cons

Recruiting mngt and the company only care about hitting a hiring number. Example: the sales recruiting org made a Saturday and Sunday the start date for over 50 account execs at end of fiscal year and pre feb 1 (beginning of the fiscal year). Totally gaming the system and many cases of people “starting” at salesforce while still employed by other companies. The recruiting org used to be great. Strived for hitting an aggressive number but doing it the right way. Current practices sacrifice quality and frankly are not legal (double dipping on employment)

Claim they want to hire internally and move people up, actions are completely different.

Pros

Great Benefits, pay is above average, overall if you are in one of their two hubs San Francisco or Indianapolis, you should enjoy your time working there.

Cons

The HR, IT, and other functions that are not core to the sales or development departments are poorly run and managed for those working in satellite locations. We are told the push is to hire internally and we should be given stretch opportunities. However, when you apply for these positions they go with outside candidates and say you need more time with Salesforce to understand the Salesforce culture or other made up requirements, which were not included in the job description. If you are in a non-core position and you do are not in San Francisco or Indianapolis you need to work 3 times as hard and 2 times as long to move anywhere in the company.
