      Unattainable Sales Quotas

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good products, culture and benefits.

      Cons

      Unattainable sales quotas for the individual contributors. Way too many and unnecessary levels of sales managers (RVP, AVP, etc.) It's like a pyramid scheme here now where the majority of Account Execs don't come close to hitting their number.

      Thank you for your feedback. We do certainly move at very quick pace here at Salesforce and whilst you've listed some great pros, I'd suggest that if you feel comfortable to do so, to have a chat with your local ESBP to talk through what you've listed in your cons. If you'd prefer to remain anonymous, you can also reach out using our third party provider Ethicspoint at http://www.salesforce.ethicspoint.com. Doing so will help us to improve and address concerns directly.

      Good benefits, toxic culture

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Everything that you read on here: Free snacks, great insurance, great ESPP, paid overtime (which is a must if you want to achieve your OTE), great career opportunities if you survive, etc. You also actually feel like management care for you. I had a huge commission issued where they underpaid me by 75%, and had to fight for it for a few months. Ultimately, upper management came through, which is amazing.

      Cons

      Very toxic culture. The issue with Salesforce is that there are so many people lined up for working there, that they simply do not care about the long-term well-being of their employees. Salesforce is a machine, you will be put in it, use you for everything your worth, and they will spit you out and move on to the next one. Most people would say that this is what sales is like, but no, Salesforce is a beast of its own when it comes to pushing people to their limit. Furthermore, the pay really isn't that great for a sales job in tech. Maybe it was good 5 years ago? Not now, though.
