Pros

The company has great vision of being top cloud computing player in biz apps market. They have great crm product, though others are catching up quickly, and also a great cloud platform which would be great if they packaged it properly. Also, benefits/compensation is overall pretty competetitive.

Cons

- senior mgmt doesn't have a clue, so we get powerpoint to death and corporate mumbo jumbo that gets annoying quick - no innovation anymore, refer to 1st point for reasoning - become highly political and promo's are slow, resulting in backstabbing, etc. - most annoying thing is execution as it's horrible and sfdc is just talk and no substance, some examples include: i) appexchange and the platform has been talked about for years and yet they're still literally at ground zero, partly due to horrible relationship/setup with partner community. ii) they talk about asia being fastest growing market for them, yet thats just false hype as marc himself says he don't care about china market at all since there's no results. it seems they don't want to invest unless they see results, sort of like chicken/egg problem.

Pros

Good product, great brand recognition. Company has tremendous potential, given Cloud Computing market is picking up. Really good sales team.

Cons

Very inexperienced top management. They seem to be mostly home grown with little experience working in the industry. Culture of back-stabbing staff and partners. Compnay vision is great but management is very political and short-sighted.

Pros

Can work on any piece of the app you need to, it's all right there. Excellent db knowledge in house, how does salesforce scale after all. From the outside, great sales team.

Cons

Code base is showing it's age, basic design of 5 or 6 years ago didn't scale as well as it could have. Hard to get good feedback on new ideas, you get very different answers to the same question, depends on who you are talking to. From the inside, terrible sale team, very cut throat.
