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.

Pros

SFDC has a good name, good training, pays really well, great health plans, vacation, benefits etc. Great products, some really talented people, and clients come to you. If you can get into Enterprise sales with the right RVP, you will be golden. Get into Enterprise that is where its at here at SFDC.

Cons

Political, corporate, RVP's can make or break you, accounts get re-shuffled every now and then, territories shrink, you are only as good as your accounts. There are Re-Org's where, leadership, accounts, support, and resources ALL change. For Example: SMB, MM, and Commercial Account groups- unless you are on the high-end (New people and leadership there too) you are subject to a "Sweat-Shop" style of work, It never stops there...for even the most senior sales people. They push you down, to a lower level them where you are, and make you earn getting back to where you were. A lot of smoke and mirrors, there was a Re-Org and I know if at least 10 people who left SFDC because of it. They are hiring and growing way to fast. Becoming just like the company that they make fun of all the time "Oracle". It's become a political and very corporate "Suit Type's" environment. It's a good old boy's club in NYC, and the talent is not that great. (All the talent is in Field Sales, and a few in Commercial here and there) Management is really corporate, and not that talented, picks who makes it and who dosent. IE: Backgrounds from Paychex and ADP, other payment companies, I mean, come on. All follow each-other, super cut-throat, and competitive, and not in a good way.

Pros

Location of head office is great. You will learn how to work in political work place. You might learn new technologies depending on the team.

Cons

You will spend 33 hours a week in meetings and then you will have nights and weekends to finish project, You will have manager that will lie to your face. You will be surrounded by incompetent people that make decisions impacting your career. You will not have career path at all.
