10/10 recommend Salesforce is second to none
Review from Marketing Dept
I came through an acquisition and am only still around at this point because the job market is poor.
Review from Engineering Dept
Being able to provide good work product
Review from IT Dept
Despite working hard for 6 years, and doing everything my leadership asks regarding getting promoted, I haven't and they hired someone over me with half my experience, but yet I was told that I didn't have enough "global", which was clearly outlined on my resume.
Review from Operations Dept
Generally it's been good. Some changes the last few yrs have made me feel less attached to the company (ex. laying off employees who were top performers, pushing return to office despite Marc spending 2 years during covid saying things would never go back to that, etc.).
