Pros

- Trust - Extremely transparent to such an extent that I can see the goal settings of each and every employee of Salesforce. Feedbacks are given at the right time and finally, everyone strives to do better for the team rather than the individual. Innovation - Team thinks of at-least 8 years in advance when making the roadmap. Every engineer needs to have a certification in AI/ML by 2019. This is one amazing goal where the company has invested a lot of dollars. Customer intimacy - Never seen such customer stickiness in a long time. Growth is not measured in revenues alone but also in customer satisfaction and it is taken very seriously. Diversity - Absolutely zero politics so far. Engineers are given a fair chance in every respect of their day to day lives. Ethics is highly valued.

Cons

We are going through crazy growth in all locations and especially, Hyderabad, where will be growing from 1100 to about 3000 by 2020. Need to focus on infrastructure needs like seating etc. However, "Growth" is a nice problem to solve!

Salesforce Response

Thank you for your feedback, we're thrilled to see you're enjoying your Salesforce experience. It's true that we are growing and moving fast, which creates both challenges and opportunities. Thanks again for your commitment to the company and we look forward to growing with you.
