I've heard they have good WLB. I had coworkers from Salesforce.

What’s their pay like?

Salesforce akwzny Apr 17, 2019

Salesforce will match almost any offer, but might lowball you to begin with. WLB is absolutely great. People wfh a lot. 4% annual merit increase and above 100% bonus is standard, plus you get more if you are good. Stock Refreshers are given only to top performers.

Any Salesforce security folks on here that can comment on some of the job titles above? Any opinions on how you like working in security at Salesforce?

They are building solid product security and infra teams these days. Good work and TC from what I've heard. It is *Salesforce* at the end of the day, though. But if you want to work on cool stuff and get paid, maybe it doesn't matter so much.

Splunk err400 May 9, 2019

Any examples of the ‘cool stuff’?

Nvidia ECTT56 May 9, 2019

Solving security at scale, consuming new products and architectures, finding bugs in interesting codebases, etc.

Microsoft zThc54 May 14, 2019

They are very behind and the leadership sacrifices quality for scope, a lot. The engineering quality is below average compared to the ones I worked with at Microsoft. People pretty much enjoy the WLB which means taking good use of the unnecessary process that gets in the way. Majority of the people here are from windows team whose mindset is still very old school. If you are looking for leaning faster and more innovation, I wouldn’t recommend. If you are looking for WLB and not care about others that much, this might not be a bad place.

Splunk err400 May 14, 2019

Are you working at Salesforce right now or is this what you have heard?

Microsoft zThc54 May 22, 2019

I am working at sales force now

T-Mobile iser Aug 15, 2019

I'm curious about the Systems Security Engineer position shown above. Anyone work on that team? What's the day to day work like? Any advice on what to study for the interview?

My company is a Salesforce partner (they’re also our investor and customer - oh SV) and while I don’t work directly for them I love working “with” them. I always engage with a great group of folks from that side fwiw
