✅ Pros
Salary bands are posted internally — no guesswork, no games. Annual pay audits with published results.
⚠️ Cons
The pace is intense during product cycles. Burnout is real if you don't set hard boundaries.
💡 Advice: Negotiate using the internal salary bands. They're public and you're expected to use them.
✅ Pros
Strong female leadership from the very top. The Women's Network ERG is genuinely active, not performative.
⚠️ Cons
Middle management layer slows decisions down significantly.
💡 Advice: Join the Women's Network on day one — the mentorship connections change your trajectory.
✅ Pros
Remote-first mindset even in the NYC office. Inclusion is baked into policy, not just talked about in all-hands.
⚠️ Cons
Meeting culture can be overwhelming if you don't protect your calendar.
💡 Advice: Lean into the Ohana culture — people genuinely want you to succeed. Ask for help early and often.
✅ Pros
Huge investment in design quality. Leadership listens to women designers in a way rare at this scale.
⚠️ Cons
Promotion track is opaque without a sponsor. It can feel arbitrary if you're not connected.
💡 Advice: Track every business impact you create and put it in numbers. Your case for promotion must be self-advocated.
✅ Pros
Most equitable workplace I've worked in. Pay equity reviews are mandatory and the results shared internally.
⚠️ Cons
Growth into the C-suite still has a glass ceiling you can feel if you look carefully.
💡 Advice: Volunteer for high-visibility cross-functional projects. Salesforce notices who steps up.
