Pros

I’ve been working at **Salesforce as a Support Engineer since 26 December 2022, and my experience over the past 3+ years has been largely positive and enriching. Salesforce offers a strong work culture that truly focuses on employee well-being, learning, and inclusion. The support engineering role has given me exposure to real-world customer issues, complex technical problem-solving, and collaboration with cross-functional teams. The environment encourages continuous learning, and there are ample resources and training opportunities to upskill and grow professionally. Leadership is generally approachable, and teamwork is strongly emphasized. Work-life balance is respected compared to many other organizations, and the company values diversity and equality, which reflects in everyday work culture. Like any fast-growing organization, the role can be demanding at times, especially during high-priority cases, but it’s a great place to build technical expertise and customer-facing skills. Overall, Salesforce is a great company for anyone looking to grow their career in support engineering while being part of a values-driven organization.

Cons

* The work environment is fast-paced, so priorities can change quickly; this can be challenging at times but helps build adaptability and strong problem-solving skills. * During peak periods or high-priority customer issues, workload may increase, requiring extra focus and effort, but it also provides valuable hands-on learning experience. * As a large global organization, some processes and decision-making can take time; however, this also ensures structure, stability, and well-defined standards. * The Salesforce ecosystem is extensive, resulting in a steep learning curve initially, but it significantly enhances technical knowledge and career growth over time. * Collaboration with global teams may require flexibility with time zones, though it offers great exposure to diverse teams and international work culture.

Pros

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

Cons

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!
