Pros

Original CEO, doing more for the community and social change, but isn't involved in how the company is run and the "Ohana" culture is not working, look inside.. you can create "Ohana" but if people are stabbing eachother in the back and arrogant, there is no Ohana.

Cons

Salesforce produces Entitled and quite frankly, arrogant people. They tell you to pat yourself on the back because "its harder to get into Salesforce than Harvard"... people repeat this at bootcamp, when they didn't even attend Harvard. Training is all online Trailhead badges, and not personal training with objection handling, interaction and just a bunch of "Salesforce is the best and the competitor sucks", their management and team breeds arrogance, ignorance and lack of humanity. Salesforce is all smoke and mirrors, great place to work, but their sales teams all stab eachother in the back. Try asking people about the relationships between EMEA and NorthAmerica on accounts. They claim #1 place to work but ask around, people get sick of being a cog in the corporate system. Salesforce is great marketers but peel back the onion, on integrating the clouds.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. Creating a great culture is a journey and not always a perfect one. On the whole, we are proud of the work environment and employee experience we deliver. The culture you're describing is not at all what we want to see at Salesforce. If you're comfortable, please connect with your Employee Success Business Partner to discuss some of the behaviors you've described in your Cons and Advice sections. Doing so will help us directly address the concerns you raise and make the work environment better for everyone.

Pros

I love Salesforce and think it is a great company. I have a huge amount of respect for Marc and what he has built from both a technology standpoint as well as the 1-1-1 and the culture of giving back.

Cons

The Oracle old boys club is VERY well established here. Concerns about inappropriate actions in the workplace and specific leaders creating a hostile work environment are passed along to a 1st year employee success (HR) person to "review." Upon review, it is always assumed that the employee was just being "coached." Even with concerns about harassing male/female relationships - "well, he didn't really do anything physical......" Completely inappropriate.

Pros

The snacks are pretty good and they don't care if you just grocery shop. Literally, people putting like ten things in their backpack at the end of the day.

Cons

Marc Benioff is a joke. He's smart in some areas but completely oblivous to what is actually equal. Trust is NOT a core value, but they sure like to talk about it a lot. Salesforce core values are a joke. There is NO equality here. It's all about favoritism and who you know. They love to go around the room and say "how are you feeling today?"....<---no one cares. My manager talks about my colleagues all of the time in our 1:1 meetings. I honestly don't even know how she's a manager. She loves to brag about herself and how she got here, and most people have more years of experience than her. I hate it here. Everyone hates it. I can't wait to just see all of their best employees leave at the same time.
