Pros

Salesforce overall is an amazing organization filled with some truly talented people. The product is incredible and the applications are exciting. Their philosophy and culture are world-class. Excellent professional and personal development opportunities.

Cons

Interestingly, what most excited me about Salesforce is what I found most lacking. I found the environment very sexist, male-dominated, negative, and non-inclusive. There is virtually no trust and I feel completely accurate in stating there is no work-life balance. You are collateral damage in the way to achieving a monthly quota. I left a paranoid, shattered professional with emotional scars I would equate to abuse. I'm sure not all experiences are the same as mine. I was unfortunate to land where I did within the organization. I know there are many folks who flourish there.

Pros

Great Marketing collateral – huge travel budget – Road Worriers

Cons

Degration – Bulling – Favouritism – on a daily. No consideration for their peolpe – pay homage to people via money. No care or humanity shown. An appealing manifestation of how mediocrity wins out. All managment are arrogant and under skilled both form a sales coaching perspective and employee management perspective. Look into al there backgrounds in advance of joining. They all have had V/limited experience out side SFDC. Categorically - worst place I have ever worked. Made significant sums of money net monthly 30 / 40 K on occasions, and still left!!!!!

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.
