Sales has very high turnover and impossible growing targets

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great location, amazing benefits (health, gym, volunteering, shares), great leadership in US, jobs outside of sales seem great, lots of events and you will learn an lot

Cons

Very unfriendly, uncaring sales environment in enterprise sales - sink or swim attitude, don't care about customers just want to make the numbers and grow. Treat sales people like dispensable soldiers, hire 100, lose 50 hire another 100 - people arrive and just disappear a few months later, some only last a few months. Many of the leaders come from Oracle. Not many people make commission - targets are very difficult to achieve.

Pros

Salesforce has become a market leader in SaaS and CRM. They have considerable recognition and clout, with an impressive growth rate.

Cons

Salesforce is a marketing company that happens to make software. That applies to employees as well. They market great culture and perks, but have become the big bully they once rallied against. Management in professional services violated both their own travel policies and technical best practices in an effort to upsell customers. Stress and drinking encouraged by the team drove me to a nervous breakdown and medical leave. During this leave, management continued to berate me for not checking company email against medical advice. I left to work for a consulting partner with a 30% pay increase, so even their money wasn't actually worth their poor treatment.

Pros

Good salary and latest devices like iPad etc

Cons

most horrible company I have ever worked for, be prepared to sign your life away. Ok, they give you everything, new IPad, iPhone etc but that because they want you to be for the company 24/7. As example: I was on holidays at Christmas and my boss actually rang me on 24th of DEcember for my forecast and that we were not making number and if I could call some prospects if they would sign a deal for a high discount.!!! Talk about crazy....
