Pros

Salesforce offers an amazing work environment, with intelligent coworkers, flexible time off and work location, huge scale, and mission-driven impact through salesforce.org

Cons

Salesforce is behind on Data Science. The leadership does not yet promote the technical infrastructure, institutional support, or data literacy to carry out modern data science.

Pros

Not really any pros at this time.

Cons

Unhappy with how difficult it is to access/edit internal notes. Also, coworkers have access to your cases and can change them at any time. Creates problems. Also, they've basically got celebrities speaking for their little speaker meetings, not real people of the business world. Whats all the hype for over salesforce?

Pros

Salesforce has an uncanny knack at making good moves (more often than not) and staying out ahead of bigger and more established tech companies. It grows fast enough that there are always possibilities for advancement or change within the company. It attracts some of the best folks now in various tech related fields. It has great benefits, including a near-monopoly on all high quality office space in San Francisco. It is one of the few places I've been that actively tries to stave off burnout or attrition. There are loads of social events and extra-curriculars. Salesforce tends to hire sociable people, and hanging out together (even for the older crowd) is pretty common.

Cons

The tech stack is getting pretty old at this point. Don't plan on advancing your knowledge in new languages and platforms if you're working on core. Front end folks have our new UI platform to work with, but it has a load of sharp edges. There's a lot of indoctrination and cultural training, but it generally has the end goal of getting people to be good to each other and to work together well.

Salesforce Response

Thanks for your feedback! We want to make sure that you're set up so you can do the best work of your life. Also, appreciate your thoughts on the tech stack and will pass this feedback on to the leaders of our Tech & Products organization. We're glad to see that our employees understand that the time we spend on culture training is important to creating a workplace where people treat each other like family. We're happy to have you in the Ohana! Cindy Robbins EVP, Global Employee Success
