Pros

Good salary. Good perks. Work-life balance OK.

Cons

Too much politics in teams as they try to prove themselves. They don't let people do their work and instead put pressure on them for unnecessary reasons.

If you can suck up to your manager, you can get all your perks.

Some teams, to prove themselves, try to step into other teams' projects, take over, and send them out.

Some managers think their reports should work like servants and should not express their opinions; there is too much partiality.

When teams move under different managers, this becomes rampant.

Managers from certain ethnicities have very little opinion on women workers. I have seen several emotional incidents several times.

I am sure this is going to become big in the coming days as SFDC is becoming a giant.

Not many women workers are in management positions.

Sr. Mgmt is worse as they don't know technical issues at all.

Sincere people struggle at times trying to keep their positions.

Advice to Management

Management should listen to employees.

Projects should not be killed just because managers want to keep their positions.

Talk to women employees, and you will hear lots of insights before it becomes BIG news.

Managers from certain ethnicities should be trained on how to treat women employees.

Senior management should be trained on technical issues.
