Pros
Salary and benefits Sales training Good perks
Cons
Working in the Dublin office of Salesforce is a risky career choice. I lasted jusy over eight months. After five weeks of onboarding/training which went very well, I was assigned to a territory which was cold, underworked and full of manufacturing companies, no interest in Salesforce. It took me about 2 months longer than expected for me to warm up the territory and get some results. This wasn't enough for my manager. I put my trust in him but over a period of months he manipulated and undermined me until I was forced to resign. He didn't support me in any way, criticised me unnecessarily and used veiled threats to force me out. I attended team meetings where the same manager was openly sexist, slanderous about previous employees he had fired and even made jokes about an employee who suffered from cancer. Favouritism is common. A female member of my team got the best accounts and much more support than other team members to boost my manager's ego. She succeeded even though she worked far less than the rest of us. The activity above is not specific to my team. Colleagues in other teams experienced the same behaviour and many were moved on in the same way I was. The whole experience was such a disaster for me. I would urge any potential employees, especially in sales, to think carefully before making the move to Salesforce Dublin.
