Pros

This company's stated values are lived and breathed most of the time in most parts of the company. Transparent trust, focus on making our customers successful, and ability to innovate continue to attract top talent in the industry.

Cons

We've ignored our weak side too long: poor capacity planning, rewarding a few managers who have a 'work 'em to death" strategy or focus on their own career to the detriment of the team, and a noticable loss of strong clear vision will become bigger problems as cloud computing matures.

Pros

- excellent products in the market - Message to the market is very visionary, sometimes to visionary - very transparent, you could easily see your revenue achievement & pipe and also your co-worker's = you can see if territories are unbalanced - OTE salary is good - low level of pressure in sales - Managers OFTEN former salesforce top-sales & really understand how to do business, this doesn't mean they are idiots in people management (of course it depends on the manager)

Cons

- still poor HR-level (following former reviews) - to keep grows revenue rate high almost all markets are over hired - achieving almost impossible - getting a job in salesforce depends who receives your CV, you have good people in low level jobs and people after university degree in higher level jobs, it all depends where your CV is routed to - getting a promotion is very political, seems easier to get a job from outside the company instead an internal promotion

Pros

The engineers at Salesforce have a lot of opportunities to learn about new technologies and take training to beef up their skill set. There are so many different teams in R&D that you should have no trouble finding a team that is working on a product that excites you. Almost all the managers I've gotten to know have been great and eager to help with your career development.

Cons

Salesforce is not a start-up anymore, so there are a lot of processes and red-tape to go through to get things done.
