Salesforce reviews

Benefits are not at the same level as other tech companies. (Only 2 week vacation to start, no catered lunch, 401k only match $0.5 for 1$ you contribute...) From here my comments apply to the Marketing Cloud: No work/life balance, seriously..This is a huge one. In paper the (limited) time off/volunteer benefits sound good but the reality is very different. In order to take any time off (at least in the In the Marketing Cloud group) you need to find someone to cover while you are gone. Since everybody is spread so thin it is going to be almost impossible to find a colleague that can cover. Can't find someone to cover? Sorry that's too bad, time off denied. 1 month advance notice to take 2 or more days off!, 2 weeks advance notice to take a 1 (yes a single) day off! Are you kidding me! Forget about being able to have any spontaneity/freedom to plan a long weekend to decompress when needed.. Off course people are going to burn off. You may pick some valuable knowledge/skills working here but the price is too high for people with a life outside work.

Management completely out-of-touch with troops on the ground. Almost completely metrics-based performance evaluations (despite what management says) bleeds focus away from more valuable goals, breeds unhealthy competition. Extremely slow career growth. Massive overhauls to departmental organization every six months, making a shell game out of picking a career path within the company.
