Pros

Have been working at Salesforce for 2 years. The company culture has definitely changed along with strategy but by and large the things that attracted me to the company still ring true: - Great benefits - Technology always on the cutting edge and pointed in the right direction - Get to work with A players - Collaboration is not just a catch phrase here ... work as a team is a mantra - Overall great customer base that likes the technology - Great product suite

Cons

If you don't work at HQ or a major hub might as well be working on the moon. There seems to be limited career progression and a 'Big Company' mentality in terms of how employees are managed day to day

Pros

In almost three years there hasn't been a day I wasn't excited to go to work! I used to dream of a job where I would be happy "doing my thing" at least 50% of the time. I never dreamed I could enjoy work this much - it's hard to call it work. For those skeptics, I've been around the block with some top tier Chicagoland companies - they don't even compare to the culture, daily responsibilities. career mobility, and pay that you get here. You are absolutely surrounded by brilliant people that want nothing more than to help you learn and be successful. Team members are amazing to work with. Everyone works together.

Cons

You create your own way at Salesforce. You must be confident in your strengths and self aware of your weaknesses. They will not create that path for you, you have to do it. For some that is great, for others they need that plan laid out. Management can only help you so much in that. For a company growing this fast there are positions created everyday. You must have patience and savvy to find the next right role for yourself. Management will guide you, but you own your career. There isn't a defined path. You aren't always going to know all the options available. It's a very fast paced environment. For everyone to work together they must communicate well. This means seeking to understand, asking the right questions, and being flexible. In sales this requires confidence and humility, not arrogance. Egos can get in the way if they aren't controlled. This takes a team.
