Salesforce

Free snacks, coffee, and soda.

Work in downtown Indianapolis.

Amazing co-workers.

Pretty laid-back atmosphere.

Many different opportunities and projects are going on.

If you wanted, you could possibly work on a new project every six months to a year (after you've been there long enough and built up relationships with other people/teams).

Even though we are way understaffed, they actually have realistic expectations and don't overwork and burn out their employees (which is amazing).

Things definitely changed after purchase by Salesforce.com. It became much more bureaucratic and annoying.

There was much less mutual respect and trust and much more "top-down" management approach.

Before the SF purchase, you were a cog in the wheel in the hands of a loving watchmaker. After the SF purchase, you are a cog in the wheel on the wrist of an aggrandizing marketing "visionary".

Way understaffed. Morale is at an all-time low after purchase.

Cling tightly to your trust and your respect of and for your employees and your Midwest mindset. Make Salesforce pry it out of your cold, dead fingers.
