Salesforce reviews

This place sucks, hands down. The job is terrible and there is no vision in terms of company growth. The product is disorganized and broken. The management team are not leaders - they hide where comfortable, within a broken product. I noticed that they avoid higher level conversations and like to stick to the working back end of the product. You cannot forge meaninful partnerships if all you want to do is position yourself as a technical specialist. Pros: - Free food and drinks - Macs Cons: - This job sucks, literally the worst job I've ever had - No incentive to work hard / promotion - Favoritism/Nepotism - My manager hired a friend and made that person a senior member of the team - No career path They might be Salesforce now but Buddy sticks to its roots. It's a sinking ship and everyone is going down with them.

Pay is great. But the stock options and bonuses serve as a gilded whip to hold over employee's heads. If you put aside your better technical judgements as an engineer you'll get along fine here. If you're able to juggle being harassed by a co-worker every five minutes on IM, e-mail or phone and can still get productive work done, you may like it here. You'll learn about about Agile development and how it can really work - in spite of the fact that group managers ignore the great recommendations of the agile training team. During your first few weeks, do some careful analysis on the source code you'll be working with. There's a sense at the company's that it's somehow infallible and should not be questioned. If you disagree with that view on solid technical grounds, you'll be able to quickly determine whether or not you want to stay on. So, that transparency is a good thing. The software release process and software upgrade process is good. So, you'll learn a lot about that. Training is pretty good, but corporate policy has many self-conflicting points.
