Name-brand, but not worth it...

Pros

Salesforce.com pays well. They're good when it comes to telecommuting. Most employees there are able to telecommute at least part time if not full-time. It's really nice to work there if you live in San Francisco, since the SF office is located right next to all forms of public transportation.

Cons

Too much nepotism and too large a percentage of new grads have resulted in many positions, including *key* positions being filled by inexperienced/unqualified people. Too many processes, too much focus on building out and observing processes..gets in the way of getting the job done...can be extremely frustrating... Too much middle management, some teams have more than one manager. Too many "initiatives" and "mandates" from the top down, with little or no direction on how to accomplish/fulfil the initiative/mandate. ZERO work-life balance.

Pros

The company definitely invests both time and money in providing outstanding training and support for its sales staff during both the initial training period and following. There is also an abundance of company events, team events, and happy hours - but still very much a "work hard, play hard" office mentality. Finally, the company is very innovative and is constantly coming out with new product and/or service offerings, making it exciting to work at an industry-leading, groundmaking organization that consistently exceeds customer expectations.

Cons

Monthly sales quotas make it a a very long, 12-quarter year. Also, sales team focus is on transactions vs. customer needs and satisfaction.
