A lot of hype, ego, and politics...

Pros

The stock has been on a tear, sales are really strong.

Cons

But everything is built on empty promises and software that doesn't actually work or get implemented. Salesforce was supposed to be a different kind of company, but it has become Oracle! We talk about customer success but no one actually cares about customer success. We care about signing big deals and pulling a fast one on the customer. This is going to catch up to the company eventually! Men get promoted if they are political, kiss up, and stab people in the back. Women get promoted if they sleep with the right men.

Pros

Absolutely none so far. It's really been a nightmare.

Cons

I've worked in the Salesforce ecosystem for over 10 years and I'm probably going to leave. I've been working at the company less than two months--albeit as a contract employee (although my title is technically "Agency Temp--so sad, and the reason this even matters is one of the security questions when you call Global Services (the help desk) which I had to do 9 times in my first two days because of PC problems (and I'm not kidding.) is "What is your title?" I'm not really a person keen on titles but "Agency Temp" doesn't describe my expertise or skill set and it certainly made me feel like a second class citizen. Maybe it's because I'm not a big company person. I also heard "contractors don't get desks" Nice. That's not legal. So buyer beware. My agency on-boarding was also horrific. My commute into the city is terrible. I love SFDC and have made my living around it. I don't want to sour on it and think I can make a bigger impact at a client. I am also surrounded by two extremes--other Agency Temps and super stars who have been there for years who stick together. In addition, my boss is remote, extremely busy and they "sold to me" is the dog they start everyone on which has stalled for a year and half.

Unprofessional ethics and top management

Pros

Enthusiastic lower level developers and engineers

Cons

The top level management like directors , program managers are pretty immature and behave unprofessionally. They poke their nose in matters where they are not supposed to. Obvious they dont have lot of work to do and just jump in every meeting and talk nonsense.Consulting for salesforce has been painful. They have irrelevant personal conversations in the meetings which annoys consultants from other firms. Still they are behaving like a start up company and never being matured. The height of immaturity is when they make fun of other company's boss and consultants right in front of them.
