      Pros

      Salesforce offers lots of little perks such as food, drinks, ping pong, etc. They also have a good benefits package with health and dental.

      Cons

      They title people as Field Account Executive however they do not truly operate this way. The culture is 100% IN OFFICE (nothing wrong with this but just be honest when bringing new folks on board). Very little work life balance as my team was unofficially "required" in office for 55+ hours every single week. It's a great place to work if you want to simply live just for SFDC, and feel like you're a hamster running in a wheel 24/7/365.

      Pros

      *Vibrant office culture *One-of-a-kind corporate commitment to community/philanthropic impact *Business acumen & makeup of sales talent is excellent on the whole *Salesforce is a very powerful logo on any resume *The company is a cross-selling machine. Understanding the breadth of solutions available to sell - and doing it - is a tremendous opportunity for development *Fantastic future outlook for the business. Take advantage of the ESPP program!

      Cons

      *Highest performers in the commercial space seem to be most adept at structuring contracts - not necessarily at creating business impact for customers. This feels like a symptom of the Oracle influx in recent years *The mega-growth is great, but the growth necessitates faster promotions and shrinking territories. This creates a unique burden on often inexperienced management to evaluate sales talent subjectively. Subjective decisions on promotions and territory carving - even when correct - often creates discontent among individual contributors who believe they've been evaluated unfairly. *Promotions happen quickly, and therefore require individual contributors and even first line managers to spend more time managing internal politics than delivering value to customers. *Commercial customers often have 2-3 different AE's (account managers) per year, which can make it difficult to establish a relationship. The result is that even great customers view Salesforce as a vendor instead of a partner in their growth. *Selling into the enterprise space is exciting at Salesforce, but sales talent turnover is staggering.

      Pros

      Work life balance Training - broad range of business related topics €5K education fund per year Freedom/ Trust to do your job Career Progression/ development Excellent benefits package 6 Paid volunteering days a year Honestly, I have been working technology for over a decade now and my time at salesforce has been really positive. There are tonnes of technology jobs on offer around Dublin but from speaking with friends in other companies - salesforce offer one of the best opportunities to grow your career and bank balance. Don't get me wrong - I have seen some people take on the role of SMB and within 6 months it's obvious that they just aren't a good fit for technology solution selling. I personally have had to work my behind off and thankfully this year I'll be getting promoted to MM and I really look forward to the challenge ahead of me. If your considering a job with salesforce ask yourself 1. Do I want to work for the worlds most innovative tech company? 2. Does it matter if management really encourage me to give back to the local community and do some rewarding charity work? (It's real and trust me - you'll be overwhelmed by how good it feels) 3. Is career development really that important? 4 Could i spend €5K per year educating myself? 5. Would I enjoy working for a company that has a work hard/ play hard buzz? If yes is the answer then I really don't know of a better gig than salesforce.... FYI - the reason I'm using this forum right now is because my manager just did me a huge favour regarding my current promotion and this is my way of balancing the Karma!! it was either that or buy the guy some whiskey - this is the cheaper option :-)

      Cons

      Lots of technology / products to get up to speed on. Continuous learning is essential Travel at SMB level and above is required. Too many sugary treats freely available
