Reviews Summary

Employees highly value Salesforce for its excellent benefits, confirming that all the great perks the company offers are indeed true. The positive culture is frequently praised, with many noting that it fosters a great environment reflected in employee interactions. The company is commended for hiring smart, team-oriented individuals, which contributes to a supportive and enjoyable workplace. Good work-life balance, opportunities for growth, and a fun atmosphere with nice colleagues and good pay are also highlighted as significant positives.

On the downside, some employees express concerns about poor management at both middle and executive levels. There are mentions of bad managers affecting the company culture by creating divisions between departments. Recent layoffs, particularly impacting talented employees in San Francisco as a cost-cutting measure, have raised concerns among staff. Additionally, the fast-paced environment with long hours and constant changes can be challenging for some, and there's a perceived lack of transparency from upper management.
