“Verbal confirmation” is not an offer

Agreed. Just got the info and I'm confused. I will update the post once I have numbers. I'm just seeking help from blind community on which company is better for WLB and overall picture

I had come from AWS to Salesforce. While I met a lot of incredibly smart and hard-working people, the top engineers who were really trying to build interesting technology were stuck working on things that weren't really that interesting or cutting edge. The way I'd put it is that Salesforce isn't a technology company -- it sees technology as a means to create a sales product.

So... Salesforce culture > AWS?

Apple okpH67 Jun 11, 2019

I'd say that for perks Salesforce is better. For learning and engineering, AWS is much better

Why so many votes for LinkedIn over Salesforce ?

Benefits are better at LinkedIn

LinkedIn is more tech focussed. LinkedIn will beat any salesforce offer hands down. You don't even need to mention the salesforce offer to LinkedIn recruiter

I joined LinkedIn and got better offer from SF after 6 months, chose to stay fot long term

Wish folks could see talent flows like LI recruiting folks can. SF bleeds folks to LI. Not the opposite.

LinkedIn CR7! Jun 12, 2019

This is a no-brainer. Heroku is a good team at SF but other than that LI creates better technology, primarily because of the type of service it offers. You will grow more at LI. Finally, perks and TC are much better, ceteris paribus.
