Pros

Employees are trusted - they hire adults and treat them like adults. The level of support provided during Covid has been exceptional

Cons

Workplace technology and integration of security passes, lockers and printing is way behind what I had expected. You have to take your own keyboard, mouse and power to every desk and laptops are not touch screen.

Pros

Quality work/life balance - This is baked into the benefits and culture. Although, you need a manager that actually supports this for you. If you have that it is great but, when you don't it can feel defeating. Personally, I have experienced the good and the bad with this. Training - Trailhead is a wonderful tool that provides a great introduction to many products/services. It's self-guided and you can pursue what interests you at your own pace. Time off to volunteer - Again a great benefit but, your manager has to be supportive of your endeavors. Employees are encouraged to give back using the 1/1/1 model. On one hand you are praised if you meet or exceed the number of hours you give back. If you don't have a manager or a team that does a lot of volunteer work, you might be criticized or singled out for "wasting time." Free Snacks - This is nice when you need a 3:00 snack or can't get out for lunch. Access to great perks - Wellness activities, a gym, workout classes, a benefit you can use to pay for massages. Unlimited vacation time, sometimes free tickets to events.

Cons

"Diversity" - There's a good lip service but, the reality is that upper management is mostly white. Until there is massive change in how recruiting and cultivating talent happens in the tech industry white guys are going to begat more white guys. Chances are pretty good they don't have friends or connections who are POC. This also holds true from people who come from other tech companies. When rats jump the ship they tend to bring other rats with them. Not so subtle hints that you have to hold a "right" set of beliefs/values - you have to get onboard or made to feel like an outsider. If you question or don't hold a certain The idea that Salesforce can save the human race - Salesforce is an innovative tech company with products and services that help customers do business. Be that! While SF is the biggest and holds a huge marketshare, it has created this idea that it can somehow save the world. Surrounded by lots of people who don't actually work with you - there are some teams that have a larger representation in certain hubs but, if you have a team that is largely based in one hub it can get lonely being surrounded by people who are largely irrelevant to your daily work life. It can also infringe on W/L balance. Ohana seating - Gross. Everyone needs their own desk and space. "Data Driven" - Sometimes translates to manipulating for personal gain and benefit.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. A lot of your feedback is very valuable and I would welcome having a deeper conversation if you'd like to reach out to me.

We have a ways to go when it comes equality, but I hope you saw the announcement a couple of days ago on the immediate steps we're taking and the publically stated benchmarks to which we will hold ourselves accountable: https://www.salesforce.com/company/news-press/stories/2020/7/racial-equality-justice/
