Pros
- Great entry level experience for Salesforce consulting - Delivery habits are lean and will be used well after departure from FSM - Some of the most competent people I’ve ever worked with in consulting
Cons
- Implementation Specialists (who are our support) are often under-qualified and frequently high maintenance (if not liabilities) on projects. - FSM “culture” is a combo of megachurch evangelism + “tech bro” - Salaries have a myopic, Alabama concept of market value. Seriously some of the most low-balled salaries in the industry. - Their professed desire for you to “be happy” in your job is FSM’s code language for “if we think you’re not happy, we’ll fire you for it.” - Burnout is high but few communicate it for the fear of expressing any unhappiness. It’s well known you can very suddenly be fired for it. - The longest standing employees in higher management often act like they’re some kind of acquired taste (with laid back vibes) when it’s simply that they are uncomfortable with being disagreed with.
