Pros

- Good pay and great benefits - Coworkers are among the most friendly, genuine, inclusive people I've met in my life - Comfortable job: you can be complacent and clock in / out for a very long time without any repercussions

Cons

- Work environment is highly politicized in projects, promotions, and basically anything you do - Not everyone is pulling their own weight - Very little accountability in the organization. The company did away with formal performance reviews a few years ago. There is a culture of praise here, so constructive feedback is rarely given - Roles and teams are incredibly silo'd now. This is not the place to be if you're looking to grow and develop your career in a multitude of different ways - Easy to get lost in the sea of things: the company has grown way too large in recent years - Growth and progression are slow. Career development is non-existent if you remain in your current position. Since there are so many employees now, each job that an employee has is incredibly specific, so if you want a change of pace, you'd have to change out of your role entirely Also, for what it's worth, I strongly believe that Salesforce actively reaches out to news outlets and pays to get on those "Best Employer" lists that come out yearly. I wouldn't be surprised if they had people in HR write numerous positive reviews to artificially inflate the Glassdoor scores.

Thank you for your review. It's true we are growing fast, which in general provides a lot of opportunity for individual career growth and development. We encourage employees to learn new skills along with our customers and partners on Salesforce Trailhead and to raise their hand with our Internal Recruiting team if we can help them find a new challenge inside the company. I do want to clarify that our placement on Best Place to Work lists is the result of employee advocacy since the rankings are the result of how we score on a survey of our employees. I also want to clarify that we do not "game" Glassdoor. The reviews here are the result of employees willingness to share their experiences with the Glassdoor community. Thank you for your 3 years of service with Salesforce and wishing you all the best in your current professional endeavors!

Pros

Very appealing culture, good people & great products.

Cons

It's a feast or famine sales environment. A few high value transactions are hiding the reality. There are a large proportion of the Sales team unable to deliver again their target.
