Pros

- Good coaching culture - managers & other BDRs often deliver sessions to help develop others. - Lots of online training available via Trailhead - for SF products & industry/soft skills. - Benefits such as pension, discounted share prices, health insurance, and others. - Free snacks & coffees in the office. - Opportunity to make a lot of $ & career progression very quickly. - Lots of incentives & Presidents' Club.

Cons

- As a BDR you are competing against 2 other roles (AE & ECS) for the same target, which I found extremely difficult to work with. - Ego everywhere. - Hugely stressful job. My 3-star review is a mix of Salesforce as a company (5 stars) & the BDR role (1 star). Salesforce is a great company, with a great portfolio of solutions, & a great CEO. I believe had I a different role, I would be submitting a very different review. However, from my experience, I simply cannot openly recommend the BDR role. It's seen as a necessary stepping stone role towards AE, is an awful role in itself, and I found myself dreading going into work every day & always came home stressed.

Salesforce Response

Thank you for your feedback. While it's great to see that you enjoy many aspects of working at Salesforce, I also want to thank you for your honest feedback and for showing us areas for improvement. We will use it to do better.

Very Misguided Interview Process

Pros

Good name brand. Snacks in the office

Cons

Very misguided interview process. This is an internship, they did not disclose that to me in the interview process. I moved from California to Atlanta for this "full-time" role but that's not the case at all. Do not be moved by the "Ohana Culture"

Pros

1:1:1 Philanthropy model; Product; C-Level Executives.

Cons

There is a feeding frenzy amongst a ever-increasing number of ex-Oracle middle managers clawing their way up the ladder. The employees are pawns and there is no consideration for the client impact.
