Pros

Strong sales and marketing Nice offices Dreamforce is done well

Cons

Promotions are not merit based. Leadership has favorites (people who look the part) Sell shoddy products that don't exist Talk about equality and diversity is PR not reality Some outstanding engineers but lot of lazy and incompetent engineers who are not held accountable for poor quality work.

Pros

There are many great things I love about Salesforce: * Focus on equality and giving back. This was cutting edge and I love how many companies are now adopting this and putting it up front in their message. * V2MOM - I've never seen anything like it in my working career of over 20 years and I highly recommend all companies adopt it. Having visibility into Benioff's V2MOM down thru his direct reports, and aligning the entire company is crazy great. * My peers are terrific people and I know I can count on them.

Cons

I feel the need to share this because I don't believe I was given an honest picture of Salesforce when I was interviewed for my role: * It is a fast paced, frenetic, competitive workplace. If you're good with that and you are hungry to be #1, this is your company. * You need to stay high energy and never take your eye off the ball. Early on, you need to "establish your brand" or you will disappear in the malaise of communication and collaboration.

Exhausting Place to Work

Pros

Salesforce is a very innovative and exciting company to work for that genuinely puts the customer first. It is filled with incredibly smart and passionate employees who can be inspiring to work alongside. It also provides excellent benefits and compensation. And their philanthropic model is key to employee satisfaction.

Cons

Salesforce is a very demanding place to work and 12 - 15 hour workdays are the norm across many departments. While the company talks about the importance of wellness and encourages employees to take care of themselves, they have yet to modify the actual workload and expectations that would allow employees to do that.
