Salesforce.com Reviews in San Francisco, CA

Current Employee – been working at Salesforce.com full-time for more than a year

Pros – Super smart people. Great clients. Interesting work. All the good perks plus above market pay.

Cons – Starting to get some big company bureaucracy. Politics in some groups is pretty intense. Lots of prep for seemingly small internal meetings.

Advice to Senior Management – Try to keep the entrepreneurial vibe.

Current Employee – been working at Salesforce.com full-time

Pros – - Friendly, smart, energetic, easy-going, and young people
- A culture that respects work/life balance
- A culture that promotes individual initiative and voice
- One of the best locations in SF for views (of the bay and Bay Bridge), walking-distance food, and happy hour
- Right next to a BART station (Landmark building)
- Great compensation, perks, and benefits

Cons – - No free lunches/dinners, like in some companies. Not really a "con" for me but for some people it might be. I prefer the vast array of real restaurants/food in the area over cafeteria food, but some prefer quantity/price (free) over quality so I thought I'd mention it.

Current Employee – been working at Salesforce.com full-time for less than a year

- Lots of free extra: clothes, mug, etc.

Current Employee – been working at Salesforce.com full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Transparent culture, dynamic work environment (we're always acquiring new companies and strategies are always evolving), benefits are great (VTO, generous PTO especially after you've been with the company more than a few years, etc.), bright co-workers that work hard, great location in SF

Cons – I've been with the Company for more than 5 years. The Company is more focused on the bottom-line than when I started (less extravagant holiday parties, fewer offsites, etc.) but maybe it's too be expected as we mature.
