Salesforce reviews

There is corporate culture and there's departmental culture. The corporate culture at salesforce.com is still one of the best in the industry but the influx of Microsoft employees (particularly leadership positions) in Infrastructure Engineering under Randy Kern and Ed Harris have promoted an extremely top-down culture which is the antithesis of what Marc Benioff and Parker Harris stand for. This has resulted in a high-level of attrition which has left the infrastructure team limping along, unable to attract top talent and unable to make demonstrable progress towards a long-term roadmap.

That being said, seriously, most people that work here are hacks and idiots. It's 2015 and they're building software like it's still 1998. Don't expect to come here and learn anything other than how to pass the hot potato. You'll spend 95% of your time doing "keep the lights on" work, fixing messes that were created 5+ years ago but people were to dumb to notice. Those people who made those messes are no in key, influential positions within the company, where their questionable decision making has maximum impact to shoot themselves in the foot.
