Pros
- Used to foster a culture of collaboration and friendliness - Good perks (or used to, at least) generous time-off, healthcare, parental leave policy. - Regular offsites and conferences - was brought back post Covid. - Once an actual industry pioneer.
Cons
- Absolutely zero career progression, especially if you're outside of the US and not SLT/ELT-level. - High performers just get saddled with additional admin. Recent performance reviews have been purely performative. - Decision-making is increasingly centralized - it is apparent even middle management is being left out of a lot of day-to-day decision-making, and do not feel empowered. - Leadership more focused on how they can consistently make changes to comp plans with little to no notice, as opposed to actually fostering a culture of growth and results. It is a punitive culture within the revenue org; you need to prove, at all times, why you deserve to be paid your comp. You are, at all times, one missed SalesForce update away from losing 10%-20% of your comp, no exceptions. - Products are not evolving quick enough - every internal QBR includes details from each region on product gaps, and none of the feedback is actually actioned upon. - CEO and Chief of HR lack EQ, are building a culture of opacity and decision-making from their ivory towers - also, apparently taking PTO is seen as a privilege now.
