Hi Fish Fam! Looking for some insights… Apart from salary and tangible benefits what are some things that would help you pick an organization or stay in it?

Supportive managers and hardworking, smart colleagues. Opportunities for stretch projects and advancement.

like

Where does this exist? Sounds like a dream job!

Growth opportunity, collaborative colleagues and good manager and management. Skilled people to deliver projects.

like

Pick an organization - getting to interview with the manager I'll report to, transparency in comp/merit review process, an understanding for how the company is different (both good and bad), a plan for how they are/will address the bad, a vision for what they will do to help me develop my career.

Stay - make good on those commitments. Elicit feedback from employees, acknowledge criticisms, address them.

Salesforce lacks all of those and I will never go back. I have loftier ambitions than "rest and vest", but that's literally all they're good for as an employee - get your RSU grant, enjoy the bennies, leave after 4 years to go work for a client or partner, where your interactions with the mothership will be much better.

like

+1 on both of the above for me.

like

Because you don't get RSU's from an internal transfer, and refreshers are almost nonexistent in CSG (where both support and proserv are).

like

Comp plan, high percentage of sales team meeting plan, and growth opportunities.

likefunny

Clear progression and strong technical training.

like

Work culture, that consider you as human and you have other life.

like

I want to know I'll be supported in whatever role I'm in, have smart and kind colleagues, an advocate of a boss, professional development opportunities, a great PTO and work home home policy. Aaand I want my comp to be regularly reviewed to remain competitive with market rates.

like

The manager is key. How they provide air-cover. How they determine urgent versus important. And the culture they create on hour past 40. There are a few managers I would quit and join their team instantly if they texted me

like

I agree for me the leader is so important! I would too

Do my coworkers really want to kick ass? Do the org as a whole really want to excel? Is there a Commitment to Excellence? (sorry, channeling my childhood Raiders fan).

Love this one!!!!

Culture and development support (ie: career path). I hate having to leave a company just to step up the ladder.

However, it seems like companies would take a novice over someone with a different industry experience (after viewing several LI profiles) and I don't want to be boxed into my current industry.
