Pros

Benefits, unlimited PTO, the name of the company, Media and market stronghold, Ruling the cityscapes

Cons

Company is imploding. The 3-4% annual merit raises aren’t good enough. Existing employee salaries are sub-par. No RSUs or stocks given to employees anymore. Incentivization by pay is a distant dream. Management and upper management take the meat of the money - typical of any company getting avaricious. Heavy attrition in critical functions is chipping away at all levels. Politics and power grab is the main game and not quality of work. Nepotism, favoritism is definitely on the rise. Transparency is questionable.

Pros

Cool cartoon mascots are fun.

Cons

Ruthless and unethical. You will get kicked to the curb faster than you can blink, regardless of how precarious your life circumstances may be. Absolutely untrustworthy.

Pros

-ESPP -HSA -Benefits -Work with some really great people

Cons

Wow.. Where do I start? As someone who has been here for 4+ years, I've experienced a lot of change. I used to be so proud to work here and now it just feels embarrassing. I can honestly say that as of now I could never in good faith recommend Salesforce as a great place to work (if you are in sales). Everything is up to the patch you get- expect that 1 or 2 people on a team of 7 will have decent patches, and everyone else will be scrapping the barrel. You are required to hit 50k a quarter (which is surprisingly very difficult to do in this market) and if you miss 2 in a row, you will be put on a PIP. However, with that being said, there are people in my org that have been put on plans even though they have hit. Its really your manager's discretion which can be mortifying.. Morale is LOW Salesforce has absolutely NO value for internal promotions. You are paid significantly less than market value. If you are interviewing, the recruiter will tell you you're allowed to log overtime - that's a lie ( went from 50 hours a week to now 43). This place is a revolving door- they are PIPing out the people that have been here for longer, and hiring people with NO SaaS experience because they can get away with paying them significantly less. Unless you are desperate for a job, I do not recommend coming to Salesforce.
