Pros

The products, the company still has a good reputations as well. Location at Salesforce Dublin is easy to commute to, even if you're coming / commuting from further away.

Cons

- As an AE at Salesforce one loses the assigned accounts / account patch at the beginning of every financial year. If one has sales pipeline built up doesn't matter it's all gone - Sales targets are too high - Account patches can't be grown during the year, thus success is only for the few who have the luck of having a good account patch - Salesforce Dublin has a big unprofessional childish kindergarden atmosphere to it - salaries are not the best and non negotiable - Salesforce Dublin is like a revolving door, once one is in, one is out quickly. I've seen colleagues who were hired, just to be fired with no chance to success given - Salesforce Dublin constantly posts videos online on how great everything is but in reality they are desperate to find employees - On-boarding is largely unrealistic - The management style is only about threats and sticks, no carrots

Pros

I have been with this company for 4 years earning my promotion to LMTS. Prior to January 2023 we used to have a good culture of respect to individuals. Salesforce had its own unique Ohana culture.

Cons

1. The place is a diversity nightmare. The true objectives of diversity hiring are abused and you will see totally unworthy candidates promoted or hired to meet diversity numbers. 2. The place is a nepotism hotbed. I was asked to interview a PMTS candidate for Tableau India but then recruitment team suddenly informed me that the interview will not happen. I was then informed that the candidate had been hired in any case and was the own brother of the VP sitting in the US. All processes were bypassed for this hiring to happen. I had a similar experience with the hyperforce team where such manipulations and abuse happens.

Pros

The compensation and benefits are great.

Cons

- We are told that trust is one of their corporate goals. That was not my experience! The amount of back stabbing at the leadership level where HR had to get involved was min blowing! This also cascaded down to the teams - During my first career conversation with my manager. He spent 25 minutes of a 30 minute mtg talking about how good he is. - My manager doubled my work load over night without asking if I had extra capacity. I set expectations that balls could drop due to being over allocated to which he said let’s see how it goes. Balls were dropped and I got dinged for it in my performance review!! - Senior exec’s played favorites and changed their minds daily and didn't care how this impacted the team - No team moral or fun was had!! - I was told that we are encourage to find new roles if the one you are in wasn’t a good fit. I did that and my manager wouldn’t let me leave…. I hate to say all the above in a public forum but whilst I was there I didn’t feel as if I had a voice and worried if I did express my concerns I would have been fired…
