Pros

Good Company Benefits. If the team you work for does not work out, there is an OOM policy for you to leave the team and join another one.

Cons

Middle management are in capable of leading the team. All they care about about is manage upward. My colleague was promoted to my manager and I found out that he listed down my work in his achievement list. What a joke. Besides that, he was trying to get a replacement for my pier and every candidate he shortlisted were Indian. Both external and internal OOM candidates. Downright racist.

Pros

Great resume builder Company events are great and constant Change as expected with a tech company but on insight into changes that vastly hurt your pay and promotional path You "CAN" make decent money in Q4

Cons

No work life balance Capped on hours you can log Constantly told you can't travel during business hours but also cannot log those hours traveling (illegal?) Management will mock you for giving feedback even if they say it's "anonymous" No negotiation power Highly underpaid when comparing to the competition Entire sales team is under quota over 50% of the months

Salesforce Response
