Great company everywhere but Chicago

Account executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are best in class and the company truly gives back through charitable activities. There is a product offering for every line of business.

Cons

Ultra micromanaged, terrible office morale, revolving door sales team. Leadership is out of touch and fills the day with ridiculous reporting and busy work. Consistent missing payments in your paycheck. You'll have to chase down every deal. Zero work / life balance.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay, benefits, location, and passionate leader.

Cons

Products department has become extremely political. It's a shark tank with big battles over budget. No incentive for cross-product collaboration. Many managers only managing up while beating down their teams. Hard core HR culture from Oracle has seeped into Salesforce, so HR is purely on management's side and by no means neutral.

If you like to work for a cut throat company and be just a number or worked for oracle before come to salesforce. I used to love this company because of their culture but the new management has destroyed it in less than 3 months. Such a shame !
