Reviews about "fast paced"
Return to all Reviews- 4.0Mar 6, 2022Senior RecruiterCurrent Employee
Pros
Great Culture, Supportive and lots of great benefits and people to learn off.
Cons
It is fast-paced if you cannot self navigate and orchestrate internally then you will find it difficult to keep up. Balancing the fast pace and demand that the role requires is challenging at times to allow you to have work life balance

Pros
Really amazing job keeping up fast paced atmosphere while showering us with perks like high comp and training. At my previous job, I was one of the first employees at a startup, so was worried that Salesforce would be boring. Nothing like that.
Cons
Very siloed, frustrating at times

Pros
I've spent over 8 years with Salesforce in various management and individual contributor roles, all customer or partner facing. Some of the pros: - vibrant, fast paced culture - smart, fun, aggressive colleagues - management is focused on latest tech trends and staying or becoming a leader for many of them - by and large, customers and partners are very positive about the technology - good benefits and perqs - hip urban culture at HQ - a chart-your-own-course mentality that rewards those who aggressively seek out the job they want and pursue it, or sometimes even create it
Cons
After my long tenure and many Dreamforce conferences, I'm nearly fried. To say the culture is fast paced and the focus is always changing is an understatement. The reason Salesforce always seems on top, and chasing the latest trend, and in the press, is because employees are expected to run harder, carry more, cheer loudly, and pivot constantly. It's the world's biggest startup in behavior. But at the same time, with the recent influx of top career sales leaders from Oracle and what appears to be a board-level mandate for doubling revenue, employees are being asked to do even more with even less, fill higher quotas with smaller territories, less help, and the big company bureaucracy is rearing it's ugly head. Worse still is the politics. When you hire a bunch of smart, aggressive people, and put them in an environment of outsized expectations, throw in a bunch of re-orgs and changing management, and sprinkle with uncertainty and constantly changing priorities, you inevitably get people back stabbing each other and throwing others under the bus to appear smarter and more worthy of promotion. The few at the top will get very, very rich. The rest will lose the sense of personal ownership and start to wonder why they've given up health and family

- 5.0Oct 27, 2016Senior Finance ManagerCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearSingapore
Pros
A year back, I decided to join Salesforce after reading the feedback on Glassdoor and it was one of the best decision I have made. This is a great company with everyone in office treating each other like family. The company provides good benefits and welfare and the management truly believe that it's the people that makes a company great.
Cons
It's a fast pace work environment and change is the only constant here in Salesforce. With this dynamic environment brings stress and the pressure to perform as everyone is putting their best forward.

Salesforce Response8yThank for your feedback on your experiences working with our ohana in Singapore. Reading Glassdoor reviews is a great way to get a better feel for the pros and cons of working at Salesforce or any other company, and I'm glad your experience is lining up with what you read on the site that led you to seek an opportunity with us. Salesforce has been very intentional about culture from the very beginning, and this year we elevated keeping our culture strong to be our top priority for the company because we too recognize that it is the key to attracting and winning the loyalty of the amazing people – like you! – that make Salesforce a great place to work.
