Pros
- Market leader and STILL in hyper growth mode
- Innovative & fast paced culture
- Socially conscious CEO + leadership
- Generally very nice colleagues
- Great benefits & perksCons
- Hiring lots of ex-Oracle folks who don't quite fit the 'Ohana' culture
- Still a whirlwind if you can't manage your workload and time
- No clear advancement path - I asked my leadership & was told to wait in the queue as others were here first.
- Doing good work often is rewarded with more work than one can handle with a high degree of qualityAdvice to Management
Promotions needs to become more transparent. Culture fit needs to be reinforced more as many new hires don't fit into the Ohana.

Pros
Dream organization to work for.
Cons
Too much politics at work place. Mud slinging everywhere. They don't walk the talk when it comes to Women employees.
Management above manager level is almost 85% men and 15% women.
CEO made sure equality at pay levels but not at management levels.
Women are NOT given opportunity to shine in management ladder.Advice to Management
I advice management to first look at the ratios between men and women in upper management levels and take decisions in future.

Pros
Salesforce, as a whole, is by far the best company I could wish to work for. It was my dream company to work for, mainly because of the culture. Beyond the in-house perks, there’s the 56 hours a year we are given to volunteer and give back in pretty much anyway you see fit. The benefits are superior to any company I’ve worked for. The buildings are a pleasure to work in each day. They focus on wellness and striking a good work-life balance. And in all earnesty, want to, and do give back to our communities.
Cons
Unfortunately, all of the above is not available across the board. My manager has, short of explicitly saying it, told us we can only volunteer 15 hours a year, to create only one career development goal, “he doesn’t care what it is”, rolls his eyes at the thought of us taking advantage of the company’s championed cause of meditation, told us we aren’t allowed to take ANY time off for a six month period every single year. And to top it off, he’s the biggest micromanager I have ever worked for in my career. You better be the first one there, and last to leave, finishing work at home doesn’t “count”. And not once, has he ever complimented or commended any of us. Doctor appointment? Have a family commitment during the week? Better not make a habit of it. God forbid you have something going on that requires frequent doctor visits. If we want to grow our skill sets via Trailhead, better do it after hours or on the weekend.
Mind you, I talk to other people in the company and they are appalled that this is happening. My ratings are based on my specific experience, and do not represent the typical Salesforce experience.
I thought it was just him, and some of it certainly is, but the whole department is toxic. There’s turnover left and right, every couple of weeks it seems another coworker chooses to leave the company. And if the VP cared, they would do something. It’s blatant. I have thought of raising the issue to HR but it’s obvious these people have been here a long time, and make someone above them happy, so it’s pointless.Advice to Management
Look at the data. Where do you see the highest turnover (not counting sales) and look into why that is. Do an audit of our VTO and see that it might be being discouraged, even look at the forced goals of low VTO hours on the V2moms. Look at the V2me of random people that are barely filled out, ask why.

Pros
Don't know where to begin. This is an update to my initial post which I had left about a year ago. I still give this company a 5/5 rating for a number of reasons:
1. Culture: The culture at Salesforce is unparalleled to any other place I have worked at. People truly care and Ohana (family in Hawaiian) is taken quite seriously. We care for one another and really support each other in need.
2. Product and Innovation: The product has its flaws but the way it improves and the speed at which it improves is incredible. It is becoming more innovative, the UI of our core platform products is improving, and the product portfolio is becoming diversified.
3. Career growth: Possibilities when it comes to career growth are endless. You can get certified (free for employees), explore new roles (ideally after 1 year of employment), and have the opportunity to connect with some of the smartest people on the planet.
4. Perks: Too many to list. No free food, unfortunately, but great snacks and drinks are available at corporate offices.
5. Pay: The pay is good for most roles.
The list goes on and on. Salesforce really is an amazing place and is growing at 'lightning speeds.'Cons
The only con would probably be the number of structural and departmental changes that occur each quarter or year. Salesforce is still in hyper-growth mode and sometimes operates a bit like a start-up, which is normal. Keeping up with the changes can be difficult at times but on the flip side, you learn a ton! Also, you have to be agile and be able to quickly adapt to changing circumstances and requirements.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing. Your support for your staff and the way you help them grow is incredible.
