Salesforce Business Development Associate reviews

Work culture can get toxic since it’s sales focused

I started at the end of 2022 with so much motivation to begin this new professional chapter in an "amazing" company. After a couple of months I realised the complete opposite. I was expecting to promote in March and for three times my panel got postponed until the managers told me that because of the hiring-freeze I had to wait the summer. Let's be clear even a teenager can do this position. Utterly disgusted by all the lies from the managers, and when two colleagues of mine who started after me in SF got promoted first it became crystal clear that something was wrong. Got my probation extended without any warning signs from my manager that was acting annoyed and indifferent during our 1-1s. Retaliation and backstabbing are common behaviours from some people in management roles. Everytime I explained my thoughts and concerns the situation didn't evolve for the better. Very sad from a company that puts "Trust" as their number one value. Your time is completely owned and not yours and they expect you to do trainings and Trailhead when you come exhausted at home. In their eyes you are just a number that needs to bring revenue as much as possible. And even if you do it is still not enough are constantly compared with other employees that are better than you. Remember - "Comparison is the thief of joy" I was so happy my last day to get out of all this hypocrisy!
