Cons

I don't know what the culture is like on other teams, but my team is not diverse at all. I'm the only black person on my team, and even on our larger 30 person team, there are only 3 people of Asian descent (which is nuts considering tech demographics overall), everyone else is white or white-passing, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. There has been a lot of marketing recently about Salesforce meeting its 50% underrepresented goal a year early, but that number includes all women, and if it didn't they'd never meet their goal. A lot of middle managers are not interested in diversity and definitely not inclusion. Even if you're hired here as a black employee, you won't be treated equally and people will question your experience and abilities constantly. It's demoralizing, and it explains why retention is so low. I wouldn't recommend working here unless you have a bigger goal in mind for what you want to do next.

At Salesforce, we're very intentional about creating workplaces that reflect the diverse communities we serve and fully acknowledge there is more work to be done. We’ve made more progress in some areas and less in others, but we are encouraged by the progress we've made together. Our leadership team regularly reviews comments, so we will be sure to get your feedback to the right people.

Pros

Cool offices and free snacks

Cons

If you want to get hoodwinked into a company that prides itself on employees first and good values, then have at it. After making other companies pledge to not lay off anyone during the pandemic, they proceeded to lay off thousands of employees 3 months (one quarter) into the shutdowns. Oh wait, the pledge the CEO said was “no Covid related layoffs………. For 90 days”. Everyone here is addicted to “building their brand” as best they can, as if their lives in this company are all about building a vain social media account that “looks” good to everyone else.
