Salesforce reviews

No information has been given beforehand that a certain amount of certifications had to be passed first, which comes as an utter surprise to everyone when they start and is adding a lot of pressure to an already stressful situation as a new hire. It was already suspicious that half of the team got rehired at the same time, but it turned out that this team had generally an extremely high turnover. The job itself was absolutely not challenging as it was merely an entry-level position, but immediately after joining we got told that there is a hiring freeze for the next months. It turned out that nobody for years had been given the chance to move to other teams. I got yelled at by the manager in the most unprofessional way and learned that this was normal there in this team. Well, it's not normal and absolutely not acceptable at all! I can only warn everyone to join who hopes this position could be a good start with Salesforce. It's a dead-end street! Any reports to HR end in an immediate procedure to cut the reporter off as a trouble maker. They won't even provide a reference or even a reference letter. Asked for my P45 frequently and received finally someone else's P60 in the end.

No free food, not stock refresh, salary not competitive enough, especially in the Bay Area. No additional perks to balance these problems. No work-life balance. Mark Benioff himself is very inspiring. But all that goodness fails to trickle down. The soul of the company is at the right place because of him ( giving back, fairness, equality etc.). However nothing seems to reach us at the individual level. Perennial pressure to deliver doesn't leave enough time for VTO , work-life balance etc.
