Salesforce Work Experiences

Incredible place to work

Senior Software Developer • Current Employee

San Francisco, California, United States

Pros: There are a lot of reasons to work for Salesforce. The people and culture are amazing; everyone is motivated and competent at what they do. The pay and benefits are also top-notch and very competitive.

Cons: As a developer, the career ladder is rather unattractive. It doesn't really feel like there's much that distinguishes people with the various titles. In many cases, it seems titles just reflect time with the company, as opposed to meeting the "requirements" outlined in the descriptions of said titles. That said, there's not much emphasis placed on titles, and I've never noticed any lack of respect between those in different places in the career ladder.
