Pros
Some of the managers are really good people and care about employees. Salesforce looks good on a resume and you can learn a lot depending on the situation. I've worked with some great people who have become friends.
Cons
Been with Salesforce 5 years and I have to say it really has become just another company. There is absolutely nothing special about working here, in fact its becoming unbearable I really dislike Marc Benioff as of late. His Ohana culture doesn't feel genuine and its more marketing than anything else. Its been like this the entire time I've been at Salesforce but really ramped up with his push for "performance culture"... Salesforce just wants to make it easier to fire people. I've done well so far but its not ok to treat your employees that way. You can't claim to be Ohana and then layoff 10% of the company because you were to shortsighted to see that covid wasn't going to last forever. Or maybe you did but short term profits meant more and the human capital down the line didn't matter. Most people who work here are very stressed, overworked and downright miserable. Company moral is at an all time low. The amount of work and expectations AEs have now don't even feel reasonable. I sell a very technical product and don't have consistent SEs or product specialists and have to fight to get any sort of resources internally. Managers want us to work miracles. They decreased our commission percentages, reduced our territories and increased our targets. Its been rough and I have one foot out the door. I feel bad for all of the middle managers who have to constantly resort to mental gymnastics to convince the sales teams that its not so bad. Good luck with that because no one is falling for it.
