Pros

- excellent products in the market - Message to the market is very visionary, sometimes to visionary - very transparent, you could easily see your revenue achievement & pipe and also your co-worker's = you can see if territories are unbalanced - OTE salary is good - low level of pressure in sales - Managers OFTEN former salesforce top-sales & really understand how to do business, this doesn't mean they are idiots in people management (of course it depends on the manager)

Cons

- still poor HR-level (following former reviews) - to keep grows revenue rate high almost all markets are over hired - achieving almost impossible - getting a job in salesforce depends who receives your CV, you have good people in low level jobs and people after university degree in higher level jobs, it all depends where your CV is routed to - getting a promotion is very political, seems easier to get a job from outside the company instead an internal promotion

Pros

The engineers at Salesforce have a lot of opportunities to learn about new technologies and take training to beef up their skill set. There are so many different teams in R&D that you should have no trouble finding a team that is working on a product that excites you. Almost all the managers I've gotten to know have been great and eager to help with your career development.

Cons

Salesforce is not a start-up anymore, so there are a lot of processes and red-tape to go through to get things done.

Pros

Great salary package and benefits. Finally a ESPP 8 years after going public. Good 1st and 2nd level managers. The best product out there! Fast moving and on the leading edge.

Cons

Company has changed in the last 18 months. Upper management is out of touch. Each month end is like a "quarter end". Company has grown very fast and the infrastructure is not where it should be to support the growth, making it difficult at times to get the proper resources and support to do your job at the highest level. The tone of management has changed from a entrepreneurial do anything feel, to a restrictive and cold Oracle feel.
