Business Outlook

Pros

Great training programs and tools for learning, very good perks. Some very cool activities like Hack days and volunteering activities.

Cons

The technology stack used for development is old in many of the projects most of the work is about maintaining an patching legacy monolithic apps. Policies are sometimes hard to find and understand. Make sure that you understand the policies when you enter this company (schedules, flexibility, wfh, if you are on work visa and want to start a PERM process make sure your type of visa is compatible with their policies for that concern), also make sure that you have good communication with your manager as different managers seem to understand the company's philosophy, values and policies in a different way.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such thoughtful feedback. While it's nice to see that you're enjoying the volunteer time off and perks we have to offer, I do appreciate your comments when it comes to the consistency of our philosophy, values, and policies via different managers/teams. I will be sharing this review with our M&A team so we can continue to improve on the areas you've identified. If you feel comfortable, I'd recommend that you talk to your manager or Employee Success Business Partner about the concerns you've outlined so you can have the best possible experience at Salesforce and help keep us a great place to work for everyone.
