Pros

Really intelligent people. Good product. Great CEO. Face paced environment.

Cons

No work-life balance. Your manager will make or break your experience here. At one point a manager I reported to implemented an attendance policy which docked people for being sick. Sound ridiculous? Probably, but it's completely true. Salesforce is a SALES company first and a TECH company second. Goals often seem more important than people.

Pros

Salesforce is great company to work for if you fall into one of these two buckets: 1) A few years removed from college and you're looking to cut your teeth in software sales. 2) You have been working for SFDC for 5+ years.

Cons

If you're an accomplished sales rep at another company and looking for a move, here are some things to note about SFDC. These apply if you're looking for an ESB, SMB, MM or Commercial Account Executive role at SFDC: 1) Base salary is about 20-30% lower than most companies 2) They will tell you that on target earnings (OTE) are attainable if you "create your own success." Translation: We expect "butts-in-seats" by 7 AM, and cold calls / BASHO emails being sent all day. 3) Less than 2% of all new AE's reps hit OTE in their first two years (basically, expect to make a base salary). Ask this question during your interview. 3) Your every move is monitored through a dashboard, and people with the most cold calls, call connects, meetings scheduled, etc. win small SPIFFs (Think "Boiler Room")
