Pros

Salesforce is the best place for someone in the intermediate to advanced stages of a software sales career period. You have unlimited resources, exposure, and are surrounded by the best of the best. The products lead the market, and 90% of the population here is an "A" player, confident and driven to succeed. The company is poised to dominate the CRM and Marketing industries for the next decade at least. In short, this is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of.

Cons

The culture is that of a big company, and success here is what you make of it. Nothing will be spoonfed, and it is up to the individual to sink or swim. Training is barebones(so seek out resources, and self motivate yourself to learn!), and many sales environments are hyper competitive. The organization is so big that there are redundant processes and internal politics, meaning that success here requires excellent externally facing and internally facing skills(or perhaps an opportunity to develop both for those starting their careers). For a company of this size, I don't think it is possible to avoid the aforementioned cons; that said, new employees who have only worked down or mid-market will need to adjust to a big company work environment, and won't receive much in the way of guidance as to how best to accomplish this.

Pros

A very exciting company to work for. Looks great on your resume. The company is filled with many intelligent individuals. Great benefits including wellness options. Lots of networking opportunities. Beautiful offices with many snack and drink options in the office. Marc Benioff is a great leader with a great moral compass. Sustainably focused company.

Cons

Toxic political culture: where it seems people tend to be very fake. There are definitely some great people here, but in general, people are very selfish here. Everyone is in it for themselves. Pay is low for the industry in early sales roles.
