Never seen any of my tech friends or peers work there (threat intelligence). Read a few reviews but didn't find anything substantial. How is the company overall and how does it compare to Verizon?

  • Security here is an absolute dumpster fire. Avoid it.

    Amazing if you want to rest and vest and deliver nothing all day, to pad out a few years before you retire or hit FIRE. Bad place to be for career development.

    My technical skillset has gone backwards and despite the excellent comp I'm on here, I'm now basically unemployable elsewhere.

  • I would avoid Salesforce security like the plague. The most demoralizing soul-sucking org I’ve ever been in. Theater and metrics manipulation to keep the execs happy while all the real security professionals flee for greener pastures.

    So if Salesforce security is a bad place to be. Where is good? Crowdstrike? Meta? Google?

    • Google, CrowdStrike, Netflix, Okta.

      Microsoft has many security teams across its various business units. Some are amazing, others used to be good but are now dumpster fires, so you have to be careful.

      Netflix security is not mature at all. I’m pretty sure nearly every company is a fucking dumpster fire at this point. Nobody cares about security.

    Salesforce is worlds better than Verizon. Completely different tier.

    What's interesting to me about Salesforce is that the security job postings seem to be targeting rock stars - they seem to be looking for people with crazy skills and exp, people that have given talks at conferences, things like that. I've been curious about it and have not applied mostly because I'm just a regular security guy, not leet anything. So it's interesting to come here and read that it's not a good place to be.

    Where is the disconnect? Is it mainly management that's not good? Or do they somehow hire people that fake it in the interview process but are not actually good?

    • They hire people like that, those people join, use none of their skills, and then they get bored and bail within 12-18 months.

      The ordinary B players do hang around, but there's not enough interesting work to keep the A players engaged.

      That's interesting to hear. So is it more like a typical security gig at any other company? What are some reasons you'd recommend / not recommend it? Without sharing too much of course
