Can folks who worked/are currently working at Salesforce please tell me more about the culture there? Is there WLB? Are managers/teams nice? I have an interview scheduled for next week but wondering if I even envision myself at the company. Also, is it true that you can switch teams within the first 5 months of joining? Any insight would be helpful, thank you!! #salesforce #culture #tech
I heard wlb is pretty good
Rest and vest thats the culture. I tired switching teams ~5 months after joining, manager blocked my transfer: lots of politics between org. Endless meetings that has no outcome. Within team people are nice to each other, but if yoh are in cross team project good luck getting anything done. Endless political fighting between teams, architects who say no anything new, noone wants to take extra work… Sf people love to blame people joining from Amazon/Microsoft for this culture but i have witnessed the most hostile behavior from people that were tenured salesforce folks from neither of these companies.
Which cloud org you are part of? By your statement it means culture is not that great, is it? I guess you left and moved to uber, is it?
Yeah dont goto salesforce if you are planning on it. I left in 8 months! And because of that i got downleveled in my new job. Going to salesforce was the worst career decision i have made.
Just from the Salesforce folks who have infiltrated slack, I can see their culture is quite…..different. I think it’s a lot of deck creation, talking, presenting, more talking, and nothing really actually happening.
Aside from the “slacking” off…anything else that sucks? :/
Team dependent. Some functions/teams are getting reorged under salesforce leadership, some haven’t changed and still have their core culture—I believe engineering is like that. Lots of exec turnover currently. Probably will be a mass exodus on April 15th
Worst culture, specially industries

Leftist liberal culture that can be good sometimes but if you don’t click with the right folks then it can be tricky. Totally depends on the manager. Wlb is good
Ugh…did you recently move to Salesforce from Walmart?
Yep
