      Great products, awful leadership and too much bureaucracy

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Benefits / perks - products are elite and new exciting acquisitions - Work with some great people who are extremely passionate

      Cons

      - Base salary for internal promotes is significantly lower so you’re effectively punished for staying with the company - Internal meetings & training keep increasing limiting time you can spend with customers - Drink the “kool aid” or risk being shunned - Growing targets with reduced territories - Local leadership are useless and have no authority to action anything. Always go via the US it’s laughable - Workplace bullying and micromanagement is common - Bureaucracy is out of control. Nothing can be done without a form going through a chain of command via 10 people which seems ironic given the who product value proposition is to promote simplicity and automation.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good school and place to learn and grow your skillset Challenging place where you're thrown without resources Perfect place to get out of the comfort zone and grow

      Cons

      No gender equality, hiring women is measured in KPIs and always preferred over men, even taking senior positions at a quicker pace Feedback for improving org is never heard and ignored Employees are just numbers and ACV and they are treated as such

      Thank you for your review, and your desire to help Salesforce improve. Equality is one of our core values as we strive to create a workplace that reflects the communities in which we live. We know that this is not the case at the moment and there's still more work to do. This is why we published representation goals when it comes to hiring: www.salesforce.com/company/equality/. Regarding additional feedback critical to helping us identify areas of improvement, I invite you to reach out to Employee Success directly.

      90% Luck, 10% skill

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are incredible. The people you would work with are some of the brightest and most talented individuals.

      Cons

      You don't really have much say in your success as an AE unfortunately. Leadership will literally tell you Territory, Timing, Talent. What they don't tell you is, unless you are not executing, only 10% of that goes towards talent. Some of the worst AEs have destroyed numbers and some of the best not get those opportunities. Company is also reluctant to move people to different teams or verticals, making it difficult to move up or move over to better fits. They have an 18 month wait requirement between positions.
