Big name in the industry and you would like to think they are open to hiring skilled people.

They prefer not to hire people over 50 and do not hire people who have more experience than their own.

Be careful if your company is acquired by salesforce

Pros

Excellent benefits which very few companies provides. Senior management is very good and has a very positive vision and concern towards employees working for them and also towards society.

Cons

Since the company is growing fast , all sort of people are there in middle management and these people are not following the basic Ohana culture of salesforce which Marc is dreaming about. If you are from an acquired company and not into salesforce tech stack, then be very careful , you will be fired immediately after your knowledge transfer and if they feel that you are no more required to carry on with the work, even though you had spent years together in the acquired company to build the product. No help whatsoever from HR or hiring managers for internal openings even though you learn and get certified in salesforce related technologies.

Salesforce Response

Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry to see you're no longer with the company. When employees from acquired companies join us, we know that there is a transition involved. We do our best to make sure that it is as smooth as possible! It's unfortunate to hear that you did not feel supported as you were looking to make the move internally. I'd like to hear more about your experience and would like to ask that you provide further details by contacting our third party provider Ethicspoint at http://www.salesforce.ethicspoint.com.
