A company with real problems covered by Ohana jargon
Pros
Easy sale, we’ll known brand, has kind of iPhone feel - there hasn’t been a ton of innovation but people keep buying, great benefits, unlimited PTO, also emphasis on Volunteer Time Off and giving back. 1% of revenue for example. Product not baked yet but the vision of Data Cloud is the right direction.
Cons
With the new investing partners there is a sentiment that more layoffs, more cuts to benefits, and restructuring is coming. Acquisitions of Slack and others hasn’t panned out. Salesforce is a business first, the coming years will prove that out. It’s about increasing product margin, the stock price, and pushing operating costs to customers, and the employees are simply numbers. The culture is a huge facade and it’s becoming anything but a family/ Ohana. If you’re thinking about joining, just lower expectations. It’s an average job, no different than the next tech company.
