Pros

amazing culture and very upbeat atmosphere. Great perks including stocked kitchens with food & drink, gym reimbursement, career advancement and trips to Hawaii!

Cons

it's a sales organization so if you don't like a quota look elsewhere.

Pros

Salesforce is dynamic and well respected with regards to products.

Cons

Certain organizations project manage efforts to the point of being unachievable. The pressure to iterate and deliver "value" in an artificially short timespan is high, but no accountability exists to prove that value nor secure you the support from others to succeed. Priorities change weekly and multimillion dollar efforts left unfinished, all with a disregard for the customer but a focus on the holy grail of the project wall. No effort to design real solutions are successful, and only quickest and fastest out the door options are selected. The concept of test and staging are foreign concepts for infastructure projects and the infrastructure ops management is both inexperienced and unfocused.

Pros

Great software applications and tremendous potential of SaaS.

Cons

The territories are treated as though they each have the same sales potential with each having the same quota. Though in reality the territories are not the same and each year the territories get smaller and smaller while the the quota rises. The company is satisfied with having only 55% achieve their quotas and qualify for club because they don't expect 45% of the reps to attain their quotas. So 45% of the reps are set up for failure. They also bait and switch territories as a way to attract talent. They make you a job offer for a particular territory only to tell you after you have been hired and left your previous job that your territory has changed...and typically the new territory is not of the same caliber and potential of what was promised. Also when a new sales rep joins the company they find that their territory has been cherry picked by several reps on their sales team each having hold outs preventing you from selling into these accounts for up to 90 days. And there is no quota relief for this lost revenue potential.
