      Pros

      I am working for Salesforce for the past 3 years. So far I have not seen any valid point for me to make a move to another company. - Compensation is good compared to its equivalent companies - Great benefits and perks - Work-life balance is very good - Management helps employees to grow in their career - More innovative projects coming up which gives me a chance to learn the emerging technologies - Company does a lot of volunteering activities to support the society and people in need of help - Great culture and values which is why I hope this company is rated as the best place to work

      Cons

      I don't see much cons about this wonderful company. I wish the management continue supporting its employees the same way it does now.

        Pros

        At Salesforce.com I worked with some of the smartest, hardest working people. The culture was extremely entrepreneurial and the product was always evolving and our customers loved us!

        Cons

        Major growing pains. Levels of management were added without promoting from within. The only constant at Salesforce.com was change and sometimes without a purpose.

          Pros

          Flexible schedule - the offices are there if you want to go in but you don't need to; fun and compassionate culture

          Cons

          With such a large organization, getting anything done seems to require alignment with a lot of stakeholders, which drags out the decision-making

            - Excellent training - Outstanding company culture that is focused on customer success and making the world a better place - Colleagues are extremely helpful and collaborative

            Cons

            A lot of learn and it is a very fast moving and changing company - not a con per se - but challenging to keep up.

              Pros

              Amenities galore! Great benefits, flexible schedule, the place where everyone wants to be.

              Cons

              Too large for their own good. Too much focus on metrics and not enough focus on micro culture and fostering long term relationships. There's an inevitable aura of competition that is felt, yet not said.

                Limited growth opportunities at executive level in Indiana (which is considered a cheap backwater)

                  Great product, great brand, focus on results. The best selling and marketing machine ever created.

                  Cons

                  cult methods, you can only adore the company and Mr. Benioff or you're an alien. Too much 'friends' hiring generates closed circles and blind, ill loyalty. Almost everybody you'll meet there is fake in terms of personal interaction. Watch your back. You will meet many ex-oracle employees that talk terribly about Oracle but bring it's methods and culture to Salesforce. Nothing left of the fresh, Californian startup spirit it was not long ago.

                      Some teams/bosses are still of a different mindset than the Salesforce Ohana, so make sure to reach out to a good team!

                      Senior Associate

                      How do you interview for a position when you are under-qualified based on seniority but not based on skills? I currently serve as a senior associate for a reputable consulting firm, and I have an interview for an associate director position. However, I am just shy of the minimum YOE requirement included on the job application and relatively young (though I meet all of the other requirements). Any advice on convincing the hiring manager I am ready for a mid-level role?

                      EY

                      Had 4 behavioral interviews for a position last week. Last Friday (which was the last of the four interviews), the interviewer spent most of the interview selling me on the job and didn't ask me any questions. She ended the interview by saying she thinks I am confident and would be a great fit for the role. I took this as a good sign but giving it's 2023 you never truly know. Has anyone ever had an interviewer do something similar and not gotten the job?

                      Did i just shoot my foot today?? I had an interview and the HR asked me whats my current salary and how much im expecting in the role im applying for. I told her im on above 50s right now and Im looking for mid 60s to 70s. She said perfect! Did I undersell my self? I have 17 yrs of experience in retail, commercial ant mortgage banking. I well prepared how to answer this question but didnt happened as planned. The HR talks so fast that i got caught off guard.
