Pros

Incredibly autonomous culture. Sales professionals that think like business people will be comfortable, successful and rewarded in this culture. Sales management is appropriately focused on it troops 'doing the right things' - it's not a "close deal or die" culture. Salesforce.com environment is clean and well-organized, and most processes are designed to scale easily. The company's value prop is strong and no credible threats appear on the horizon for this company.

Cons

Only change, but that's what you'd expect from a company growing at 40% a year. It's a healthy part of the process and gives ambitious folks an opportunity to try new roles, assignments.

Pros

Great people, benefits, culture, and pay. Lots of "workmates" with long tenures (10+ years). I truly wanted to retire from Workday!

Cons

Leadership changes freaked a lot of people out. Things felt unstable within the org for the last year (2025). The culture shifted from one that focused on employee growth to adopt all AI at all costs, and do it yesterday! It was extremely stressful to learn so much, so quickly, and create your own use cases and custom workflows - then to ultimately be laid off despite significant contributions.
