Need recommendation: Salesforce LMTS offer

Sep 9, 2017 10 Comments

Base $175k, Stock: $160k, Sign on:50k.

Currently an L63 with 6.5yrs exp and on track for a promotion to L64 this December. I work in one of the interesting AI/Big data groups here and I'm a bit worried about Salesforce' reputation in the industry. Should I stay back and try the unicorns or take the offer and try later? I interviewed here sooner because it didn't take much leetcode prep.

  • Congrats. If you are joining salesforce Einstein it is actually a great team. The work is interesting and the company culture is great. This is really the company with the least amount of assholes and there is really a company wide culture to help those less fortunate with the company's profits and people. I really think the stock will double in the next 2.5 years. Usually they don't give sign on bonuses unless you are relocating so that's a great package. You can always ask for more though. Salesforce's reputation in enterprise software is actually excellent. It is growing very fast for its size and the leaders know how to execute.

    I was in Salesforce before. It has very good culture, far better than Microsoft. Mark Beniof is a visionary leader. They are ranked #1 as most innovative company for years together in Fobes Magazine. They promote well if you are doing good. Their stock is also steadily increasing. Negotiate for more and take the offer. AFAIK they pay as much as Google. Which location are you moving to?
