why do ppl usually leave your company?
Top di risposta dei dipendenti
Managers manage up, and leave engineers to act on their poorly defined whims. Most people I've seen have left due to frustrations and low morale.
In the san fransisco area, usually to go to start ups hoping they'll get lucky with equity. In my area (Washington D.C.) we have very low turnover, mostly in sales, because the government isn't really one of our biggest clients.
Salesforce is an amazing company and one of the best. Sometimes people leave because of a bad manager, Salesforce is a big company with mostly great leaders, but there are some toxic managers, so at the end it's really depend in which group you are.
How's the vacation policy at Salesforce?
Top di risposta dei dipendenti
There is a minimum of 15 days PTO every calendar year in addition to company holidays. There is an additional 5 discretionary days available to every employee. The 15 days is the minimum and increases as the employee's length of employment within Salesforce. The 15 days can be carried forward to the next year but the discretionary time off cannot be carried over. Also, on the engineering side of things, there is unlimited vacation policy from SMTS onwards. More Salesforce benefits information on the publicly available website "https://www.getsalesforcebenefits.com"
Excellent. Usually starting around 2-3 weeks a year and once you get to a senior title or higher it's unlimited. Although unlimited is crafty really and more of a money saver for the company than anything.
It's competitive with other similarly sized orgs. More details on benefits can be viewed here: http://www.getsalesforcebenefits.com/en/your-benefits/work-life/time-off-and-leaves

What's the interview process like at Salesforce?
moderately difficult, not as hard as google
Ridiculous. They force internal candidates to interview five or six times and to sit in panel interviews with up to ten people. Multiple VPs and Sr Directors are involved even in the lowest of positions.
Difficult but needs preparation
What do people at Salesforce think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
Top di risposta dei dipendenti
People at Salesforce regard Marc as an outstanding leader and innovator. He continues to push the envelope for what our company can achieve all while creating a spirit of Ohana with employees.
He needs to clean house at the top.
It depends if you're in the mothership (San Francisco HQ) or not. Many there feel like he walks on water and can do no wrong. Those part of companies they've acquired and living in more sensible and pragmatic parts of the country/world tend to look upon Benioff and the Salesforce culture a bit more skeptically. They do a lot of things right but when you're a behemoth the size they are there are company culture pieces that fall by the wayside in the interest of the business.
What's the main reason people leave the company?
Top di risposta dei dipendenti
Company is not collaborative and is very political
Bad manager
Because they are disrespected by their management and the culture is toxic.

It depends on the manager. Mine was fine with me working remotely 20% of the time, but they were flexible around life events that required you to work remotely. It wasn't unusual for people to work remotely 3 days in a week if they didn't have things they needed to be in the office for.

How does Salesforce make decisions around promotions?
Top di risposta dei dipendenti
I would say partially based off of being able to produce. But having your wagon hitched to the right person and being able to do corporate BSing certainly will help your cause.
No one understands how promotions are decided - the process is clear and transparent, but the criteria needed for a promotion is not.
Not exactly sure. But I was promoted recently
