Pluspunten

You learn a lot about consultative selling and SaaS. It's not negative to have on your CV. Work life balance seems okay.

Minpunten

Poor leadership incl. lies about future possibilities. Limited to no promotion opportunities. (Plus be aware that they can keep you in a role for 3 months after you promote and that you can only promote quarterly, meaning they will potentially extend your role with 6 months). They won't pay for your phone and/ or bill (your job is literally to call prospects all day) You don't experience that trust is their #1 core value when on the floor. In fact transparency is expected from you but not reciprocated. Salary is at best on par with similar companies, not leading. A part of their strategy is to hire overqualified people with the promise of future opportunities without intending to fulfill that for everyone i.e., everyone was told the same. No lunch opportunities (Ireland in Dublin), this means you have to buy your own food at high cost and spend a lot of time retrieving it (or prepare home cooked meals). No carrot, all stick. Don't expect events even on team basis. There are no money for that anymore. However, there is still a high level of scrutiny on your daily activities and a high level of micro management. I.e., to downsides. The managers are not experienced and lack skills for motivation. They seem more like they are there for forecasting and hiring purposes when people leave. No apparent culture probably due to too quick growth.

Pluspunten

I've spent over 8 years with Salesforce in various management and individual contributor roles, all customer or partner facing. Some of the pros: - vibrant, fast paced culture - smart, fun, aggressive colleagues - management is focused on latest tech trends and staying or becoming a leader for many of them - by and large, customers and partners are very positive about the technology - good benefits and perqs - hip urban culture at HQ - a chart-your-own-course mentality that rewards those who aggressively seek out the job they want and pursue it, or sometimes even create it

Minpunten

After my long tenure and many Dreamforce conferences, I'm nearly fried. To say the culture is fast paced and the focus is always changing is an understatement. The reason Salesforce always seems on top, and chasing the latest trend, and in the press, is because employees are expected to run harder, carry more, cheer loudly, and pivot constantly. It's the world's biggest startup in behavior. But at the same time, with the recent influx of top career sales leaders from Oracle and what appears to be a board-level mandate for doubling revenue, employees are being asked to do even more with even less, fill higher quotas with smaller territories, less help, and the big company bureaucracy is rearing it's ugly head. Worse still is the politics. When you hire a bunch of smart, aggressive people, and put them in an environment of outsized expectations, throw in a bunch of re-orgs and changing management, and sprinkle with uncertainty and constantly changing priorities, you inevitably get people back stabbing each other and throwing others under the bus to appear smarter and more worthy of promotion. The few at the top will get very, very rich. The rest will lose the sense of personal ownership and start to wonder why they've given up health and family

It's not often that you get the opportunity to respond to a review 10 years in but your comprehensive and thoughtful review has managed to hold on as one of our most popular even a decade in :) It’s exciting to see that the things we love most about the Salesforce of today — super smart colleagues, being at the forefront of tech trends and establishing ourselves as leaders in the space, great benefits and perks to name a few — haven’t changed in the past 10 years. We acknowledge the challenges you faced, such as the pace, shifting priorities, and internal politics. Your advice on maintaining our foundational vision while avoiding big-company bureaucracy is helpful as we continue to grow as the #1 AI CRM. Salesforce is committed to balancing growth with employee well-being and staying true to our core values. We appreciate your insights and dedication over the years. Thanks again for your feedback!
