Pros

1) Innovative - Salesforce thrives on innovation whether that's internally developed or thru acquisitions. You will always be exposed to the solutions that move the needle 2) Leadership - Benioff and Salesforce leaders are visionaries and highly engaged. I trust them to make the right decisions for the company. 3) Internal Mobility - you are encouraged to explore career opportunities in other functions if that is of interest to you

Cons

1) If you are very senior (15+ years experience), I would avoid CSG. Upward career mobility is very limited and leadership makes very little effort to promote a career focused organization. Revenue growth is the primary motivation, career development takes a back seat. 2) Reporting hierarchy - it's ridiculous at some levels. You could be reporting to a peer at your level who's competing with you for promotions, salary increases, recognition, etc. Conflict of interest, you think? 3) Yearly Re-Org: the intent is to position the company for growth, but the rationale and results do not always make sense. It definitely puts the customer through an uncomfortable transition period.

Pros

friendly, helpful, try to be nice and treat you well

Cons

11hr days are the norm. Unlimited PTO equals your boss's boss being mad people are on PTO because we are so busy. I miss earning PTO so that I could at least take a vacation. If you aren't part of the Headquarters crew in SF then you are an other and they will make you feel that every day as your lunch is forgotten and you have to take a break from work to help put your kids to sleep.
