      Oracle, will you cut the kid some slack? Just cuz Salesforce isn't your dream company, doesn't mean it can't be his.

      Too many people on blind like to crush the dreams of others.

      It's not always about you. Damn.

      He is contradicting. Dream company as stepping stone lol
      Also amazon is far better stepping stone than CRM.

    Left Amazon after two years for Salesforce and loving it. Salesforce comp and benefits far surpassed what I had at Amazon and they actually care about their employees. Only con I’ve seen is Salesforce is not as willing to do refreshers, but if you negotiate well your initial offer and base should make it worth your while.

    • From what I could gather they are reposting some jobs because "working from home" implies changes to work authorizations and visas and they have to go through some procedures again. There was an email at some point but I didn't read a lot into it.

      It basically said nothing for the employee to do.. we will file the necessary paper work.

    You like their culture? Are you serious? It might be good but it’s over the top

    They have this cheesy ohana or whatever thing and community service shit. I interviewed and it felt like a cult.

      Your complaint is that they care about community service?

      You seem like the type who would pee in the cup of a transient if he'd ask you for change.

      The tech world could use less of you.
