Exhausting Place to Work

Pros

Salesforce is a very innovative and exciting company to work for that genuinely puts the customer first. It is filled with incredibly smart and passionate employees who can be inspiring to work alongside. It also provides excellent benefits and compensation. And their philanthropic model is key to employee satisfaction.

Cons

Salesforce is a very demanding place to work and 12 - 15 hour workdays are the norm across many departments. While the company talks about the importance of wellness and encourages employees to take care of themselves, they have yet to modify the actual workload and expectations that would allow employees to do that.

Pros

Fun, dynamic, great people, innovative. Great company and their philanthropic model is amazing. They definitely make it cool to work

Cons

Still operating as a start up. Lacking programatic approaches and there is a lack of fiscal responsibility. Another thing noticed is a lot of "punting the ball" as there is no accountability.

Pros

Great company 3 years ago. Then it tripled and went to the wolves. Work life balance is good. If you wanna sit and grow at a steady pace then it's great. Don't expect too many merit based incentives. Some free lunches. Easy to switch teams parallely. Vertical movement is easier for management. Horizontal movement is extremely scrutinized (they would rather hire inexperienced interns than in-house and train someone for a position) Company stocks are great. Bonuses are ok. Company has still a lot of room to grow which is great for its workers.

Cons

If you are the kind of person who thrives on appearance and taking credit for others work OR if you're a manager. Then this is the place for you. Work is not connected to pay. The impression of work is. Manager are pretty much guaranteed promotions every year if they don't distribute their budget on promoting their hires. I've known developer who've left because of this and also conscientious managers who were tired of playing the devil. Tripled in size in 3 years and the culture is no more. Now it's a hodgepodge of Microsoft and oracle.
