Salesforce reviews

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.

- 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
