Pros

-Monetary Benefits are good in the starting but here also some people would get for package and other less even for the same role.

Cons

- Repetitive work in Support, no learning. I was also a developer who joined Salesforce support but I now regret my decision. -No process to change role internally. The recruiter will lure you by saying you can switch internally but there is only politics here. Managers will not let you switch to development. -I joined Salesforce as a Support Engineer recently and the experience has been not good. Managers are poor - There are no holidays in Salesforce Support in Hyderabad. Manager can ask you to work even on 15th August or 26th January. -I read many reviews where people write good salary as a con but you need to understand that it's a product based company so definitely it will offer more than service based companies. For me, the recruiter tricked me into received less package compared to others. -Salesforce says there is Ohana culture but the Hyderabad office is pathetic. You can't expect Ohana culture wherever there are Indians. -Managers are unprofessional, they don't let you take advantage of the benefits offered by Salesforce as if it's their own money.

Pros

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

Cons

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
