Salesforce reviews

As top talent has increasingly fled, the incompetent engineers have more of a say and presence. And there are a lot of them. Way to many managers and directors compared to ICs. Many of them are more interested in building their 'empires' then the technology or their staff. Outdated technology. The work isn't that interesting, it takes forever to get anything done, and we're constantly swimming around our own technical debt which we never invest time in fixing. Cronyism, politics, and back room conversations run rampant.

They are hiring Account Executives so fast that managers are promising things that can't be delivered on (ie, Choice Accounts, Low Quota). After quitting your old job and signing on with Salesforce, all of those verbal promises go out the window. Quota isn't as discussed, and all the new Account Execs, regardless of experience get the shrapnel accounts. Salesforce.com sales management will say whatever you want to hear to get you in the door, after that all bets are off. If you come here, make sure you get your quota and territory list in the offer letter. If they are unwilling to do that, walk.
