Pros

Work with some great people. Good enablement.

Cons

Unachievable targets/quotas. About 95% of Account Executives miss their number every month. High turnover of sales staff. Salesforce really don’t care about their customers. It is all about 30% yoy growth.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits, some interesting products, looks good on your resume.

Cons

Executive leadeship has a vision and stated values that don't necessarily trickle down to the rank and file. Favoritism, backstabbing, biases, and politicking typical of any large corporation in rampant. If you're lucky, you'll have a good manager or be your manager's favorite. If that is the case, you might be very happy here. Work-life balance doesn't exist and there are constant changes of direction. My best advice: Don't let it take over your life with happy hours and "ohana" talk. Work SMART, learn everything you can, network, build your brand, watch your back, and get out at the 3 year mark.

Thank you for your feedback and thank you for your many years here with the business. Transparency is very important to us so if you feel like you're losing track of the team or company vision, I'd encourage you to have a chat with your manager or to examine how your V2MOM roles up to the Corporate V2MOM. If you don't feel comfortable doing so, I'd suggest you reach out to your Employee Success Business Partner to further discusss some of the cons you've listed in your review or, if you prefer, you can provide more details anonymously by contacting our third party provider Ethicspoint at http://www.salesforce.ethicspoint.com/. Doing so will help us work to directly address the concerns you raise in your review.

Pros

Benefits - Health and Savings & Salesforce Brand

Cons

Politics and very little enablement. Expect to spend inordinate amount of time trying to figure things out from expenses to tracking down compensation to navigating territory and team. Very little time left to strategize and execute effectively. Concept of teamwork is lacking in majority of engagements.
