Avantages
1. Looks good on your resume. 2. Good benefits.
Inconvénients
1.You'll need those benefits to seek treatment for issues that result from prolonged exposure to Salesforce's toxic environment. 2. Promotions are based on favoritism rather than competence, responsibilities, and merit. Image is the ONLY thing. They rely on something they call Salesforce style (or something) which is really just a way to allow unscrupulous managers to manufacture unmeasureable reasons to deny you a promotion. 3. There are several levels of managers who add little to no value but cause a lot of pain. They literally spend all their time going to meeting and running orders down the chain. They couldn't do any of the ACTUAL work if you dared them to. Then they have lots of free time for politicking and deceit. 4. DEI "efforts" are nothing more than marketing. They want to see themselves as good people without doing the actual work. The truth is that discrimination is rampant and they do nothing about it. Nothing other than increase DEI-related marketing while they gaslight black and brown employees. 5. Pay is significantly lower than you'd find at other companies in the industry. 6. They will consume your entire life and all of your energy if you allow it through overworking, forced volunteering, forced "fun", and all that family talk (all the better to manipulate you). 7. "Employee Success", "Ethics Point", and the "Warmline" are all HR. Their role is to protect the company from liability. They don't actually care about employees. 8. They periodically send a link, via company email, to come to Glassdoor and provide a review. What person who needs/wants their job would follow an email link from their employer and give anything less than 5 stars?

Avantages
I've spent over 8 years with Salesforce in various management and individual contributor roles, all customer or partner facing. Some of the pros: - vibrant, fast paced culture - smart, fun, aggressive colleagues - management is focused on latest tech trends and staying or becoming a leader for many of them - by and large, customers and partners are very positive about the technology - good benefits and perqs - hip urban culture at HQ - a chart-your-own-course mentality that rewards those who aggressively seek out the job they want and pursue it, or sometimes even create it
Inconvénients
After my long tenure and many Dreamforce conferences, I'm nearly fried. To say the culture is fast paced and the focus is always changing is an understatement. The reason Salesforce always seems on top, and chasing the latest trend, and in the press, is because employees are expected to run harder, carry more, cheer loudly, and pivot constantly. It's the world's biggest startup in behavior. But at the same time, with the recent influx of top career sales leaders from Oracle and what appears to be a board-level mandate for doubling revenue, employees are being asked to do even more with even less, fill higher quotas with smaller territories, less help, and the big company bureaucracy is rearing it's ugly head. Worse still is the politics. When you hire a bunch of smart, aggressive people, and put them in an environment of outsized expectations, throw in a bunch of re-orgs and changing management, and sprinkle with uncertainty and constantly changing priorities, you inevitably get people back stabbing each other and throwing others under the bus to appear smarter and more worthy of promotion. The few at the top will get very, very rich. The rest will lose the sense of personal ownership and start to wonder why they've given up health and family
