Pros
Salesforce is a great company, for all the reasons they promote. As a company-wide level they promote equal pay, diversity, and equality. The compensation and benefits are outstanding. There is real attention to equality in pay, and I'm really happy to be working for a company that encourages volunteer time. I highly recommend Salesforce as a company, except for the one group I have deep experience with.
Cons
I am only familiar with the Heroku product group, so this may not be a widespread problem, but within the Heroku organization there is very little diversity, and it's getting worse as more of the remaining few non-white-male people leave. In less than two years, I've seen a pattern of putting women in positions where they have little support to be successful. Almost the entire management chain is male, and there has been no effective leadership in addressing this. Things change, and this review will become stale, so here is a list of things you might ask about if you interview for a position on the Heroku product: Ask for the diversity numbers of the team you're interviewing with. Ask for the diversity numbers for managers across the organization. Ask your interviewers what their experiences have been on their team with people in under-represented classes. Ask whether their management is taking any concrete actions to address any lack of diversity.
