Toxic Abusive Demoralizing Workplace

Pros

Tower has nice views. Selection of free food. Park on the 5th floor is a nice place to walk,

Cons

Wildly inflated titles. Management contains many junior ex-consultants who can’t seem to grasp how to actually get anything done other than building pretty slides. Excessively hierarchical. Unfriendly, territorial and insecure peers. Non-ironic lectures about “ohana” from hostile coworkers. First place I’ve ever worked where I get *scolded* for getting things done. Incredibly demoralizing. Unbelievably inefficient working styles, with no appetite for improvement. Management overly focused on complexifying rather than simplifying, likely due to tiny scope, inexperience and insecurity. Disorganized functions with may overlapping siloed layers and groups who duplicate effort.

Culture Crash

Pros

Good benefits and pay - golden handcuffs are strong if you are willing to make this company your life (they call it work-life integration!)

Cons

Having served at the company for over 10 years, I must say that in my last 2 years there, things seem to have taken a downward turn. I am sure attrition rates are at an all time high, even outside Sales. There are several very good middle managers, however the bad and untrained seem to be taking over, with several long time employees being pushed out once it is determined they either make too much money or don't "tow the line". This may be the result of becoming a large company, however what really stings is all the "good for the world" BS that marketing spews out, when in reality it is about the cash.

Pros

Good culture and good software

Cons

Don't quit your job until everything is complete. They do things completely different than any other company that you can resign your other company and even start before everything is complete. I quit a good job and went through training at Salesforce and 30 days later they asked me about a bounced check from 22 years ago. I had a call with some random person and I honestly didn't know about this. They came back 2 days later and said my employment was ended as of that day. Turns out it was a check for $65 from 1997 when I lived in a different state but was paid and rectified. Not very Ohana like!!!!!!!!
