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…

Pros

Benefits and pay are nice Smart individual contributors and mid level management

Cons

I was in sales operations and marketing operations and the hours worked never were below 60 with sales operations consistently reaching 80 hours. I submitted an ethics report for management that we were being abused and also formal feedback reporting the environment that essentially got swept under the rug. The hr manager shared that since it was not sexual harassment it was not an issue. Leadership would yell at you for not working fast enough or pulling enough weekends and late nights. Twice I had debilitating migraines from the stess and multiple times broke down in tears or had my coworkers and employees breakdown. Salesforce does a wonderful job with their brand making you think they are the best company to work for and you are on the top. Nothing could be further from the truth. My mental and physical health declined rapidly at salesforce and any effort to communicate feedback or advocate for change was shot down. Also the way everyone over uses ohana a Hawaiian term for a white male led company is cultural appropriation ever and very on brand colonizer behavior.
