      Great Culture, Dev Nightmare

      Pros

      The people are great and welcoming. Benefits and comp are pretty solid as well, and being able to work remotely full time is a great perk. Work life balance is also insanely good, with unlimited PTO as soon as you are a mid level engineer. Which for a bigger company is a huge perk.

      Cons

      Their core codebase is a nightmare to develop on. 30 minutes of build time to just fail out due to a minor build issue. And just because tests pass locally doesn't mean they will pass in the remote build, and you won't find out for 4 hours if you are lucky. This wouldn't be the worst if it was well documented, but everything is passed on via tribal knowledge, so if you are on a small team with maybe 1 engineer with tenure, pray they know what they are doing.

      Terrible recruiters!!!

      Pros

      I think in my life dealing with 50+ more companies recruiters, Salesforce recruiters are the worst. They have reached out to me through linkedin asking for updated resume and once they get hold of it they disappear. I try reaching out to them asking for updates for never hear back from them. Mind you, I work in FANG and this has happened to me atleast 4 times now. The only reason I am interested in this company is because I happened to speak to few managers and looks like they really care about their employees. Sadly, the recruiters dont!

      Cons

      Recruiters, stay away from them!!
