Chill place but no "engineering excellence"

Pros

The best thing about working here is that it's relatively relaxing as the company is doing well. The company is generous about your hours and let's you do things like volunteer your time.

Cons

That being said, seriously, most people that work here are hacks and idiots. It's 2015 and they're building software like it's still 1998. Don't expect to come here and learn anything other than how to pass the hot potato. You'll spend 95% of your time doing "keep the lights on" work, fixing messes that were created 5+ years ago but people were to dumb to notice. Those people who made those messes are no in key, influential positions within the company, where their questionable decision making has maximum impact to shoot themselves in the foot.

Pros

If you are 20-something and looking to get started, Salesforce is probably a great place to started or better yet, Pardot which was acquired by Salesforce is even better. The culture is young and hip, not corporate at all.

Cons

Quotas are unattainable. They are peanut butter spread with complete disregard as to what the opportunity is in the territory. The culture is not corporate at all-if you expect management to behave like adults then you need to look elsewhere. It is getting to be more like Oracle every day. No one cares about the customer or the employee.

Pros

Perceived innovation Superb marketing Market leadership Perceived benefits

Cons

- Politics, politics, politics - Product set dated, especially around process management, analytics/decisioning, big data - Oracle clone - Plenty of little emperors in middle management positions with dillusions of grandeur - Average compensation - Overly reliant on inflated Sales Engineering organisation desperately working to shore up glaring gaps/deficiencies in an increasingly fragmented product set
