Threatened, but unable to report.

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast paced. The decision making is quick.

Cons

The politics kills me seriously. I was the most productive in the team, but since one of the unknown vendor approached my manger, told me that they know Marc Benioff. However, this vendor didn't meat our needs/expected price at all, so I turned-off. I was threatened and critisized during RFP, but unable to report because my team had serious bullying by my manager. I became lay-off later.

politics + incompetent middle management

Member of technical staff

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Very good work-life balance . WFH within limits. 2. Decent pay. 3. Corporate responsibility. Actively encourages employees to take part in volunteering events.

Cons

1. Title egos and titles don't generally match competency of engineers. There used to be a lot of good engineers, but that has dwindled significantly. 2. Lot of politics. Watch out! 3. Technical growth will be stunted. Be prepared work with a lot of incompetent senior engineers. 4. Too much marketing hype about the product, but the products don't live up to expectation.

Pros

Besides the obvious (pay and benefits) Salesforce is actually a pretty fun place to work. I can only speak for the sales side and working out of the SF office, I don't know much about the other orgs. Overall they do a great job hiring intelligent social people who will have fun while still working hard. The product is the best on the market and the technology for the most part blows competition out of the water. For me the best part about working at Salesforce has been the people / co-workers.

Cons

Salesforce has an interesting way of recognizing and measuring success, which is mostly driven by tooting your own horn. The practice of "building you brand" is more important to your career than doing intelligent and meaningful work. The company is driven by sales and this causes unrealistic expectations on both the sales side as well as product rollout. Many (but not all) of the low to mid level managers are either unqualified or strive too hard to please superiors. The company is more focused on showing and telling about how great it is than actually being great.
