• Entirely too political all around. This is not always true everywhere, but in IT, it's a serious issue.
• Remote offices do not get or are shown respect from peers in San Fran. This is a very common problem, expressed by almost all remote employees and recognized as a problem.
• Unnecessary stress and unfair treatment of employees.
• Retaliation is very real, and people are constantly put down for speaking up because leadership is looking out for themselves.
• HR shows little to no interest in resolving issues. If there is an issue with leadership, don't expect anything to be done.
• The "Ohana" culture is not true for everyone or everywhere.
• Leadership puts more of a focus and accountability on extracurricular activities rather than actual work.
• Individuals that work hard and do good work are the ones that are punished the most.
• Leadership that will put themselves and their needs first and foremost.

I have had several issues with dishonest leadership, retaliation, and [unspecified issue]. I have gone to ES/HR for help with a response regarding someone not wanting to do their job. I provided lots of proof, examples, and documentation displaying that my leadership/management has been completely dishonest and misrepresenting events, but this was a total waste of time. This just resulted in further retaliation and has put me in a far worse spot than ever. I now have management who have been justified to make up the rules as they go along. I've been outspoken of issues and my unhappiness with no results. I just have someone I report to that claims they did everything they could, when in reality, they did absolutely nothing.

Full disclosure: this is not common in most orgs/groups around the company; however, this is still a serious issue throughout. It's sad and demoralizing to work in a company that does not hold leadership accountable and allows them to do whatever they want. My group is by far has more unnecessary political conflicts with business partners than any group I've come across. I've worked very hard and have a lot of support from peers, co-workers, and business partners, but yet I have leadership that acts dishonestly, is completely misleading, and retaliates for anyone that acts honest. It's sad that I'm the third person in my position on my team that has gone through hell and that has either left or is on the verge of leaving the company. It's even more sad when ES/HR does not seem to care, and their response is to notify you that it's perfectly acceptable to do so. It's incredibly sad that my experience at [company name] has been overall bad. I've had terrible jobs but have never been treated this poorly at any of them. It's sad that it's at a company like Salesforce.

Treat employees fairly and with respect. You don't retaliate against people just because you don't like what they might have to say.
