      Microsoft invades infrastructure engineering

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great location, competitive pay, great benefits, excellent culture of giving back through the salesforce foundation (1-1-1 culture).

      Cons

      There is corporate culture and there's departmental culture. The corporate culture at salesforce.com is still one of the best in the industry but the influx of Microsoft employees (particularly leadership positions) in Infrastructure Engineering under Randy Kern and Ed Harris have promoted an extremely top-down culture which is the antithesis of what Marc Benioff and Parker Harris stand for. This has resulted in a high-level of attrition which has left the infrastructure team limping along, unable to attract top talent and unable to make demonstrable progress towards a long-term roadmap.

      Chill place but no "engineering excellence"

      Pros

      The best thing about working here is that it's relatively relaxing as the company is doing well. The company is generous about your hours and let's you do things like volunteer your time.

      Cons

      That being said, seriously, most people that work here are hacks and idiots. It's 2015 and they're building software like it's still 1998. Don't expect to come here and learn anything other than how to pass the hot potato. You'll spend 95% of your time doing "keep the lights on" work, fixing messes that were created 5+ years ago but people were to dumb to notice. Those people who made those messes are no in key, influential positions within the company, where their questionable decision making has maximum impact to shoot themselves in the foot.

      Good old boy network

      Pros

      If you are 20-something and looking to get started, Salesforce is probably a great place to started or better yet, Pardot which was acquired by Salesforce is even better. The culture is young and hip, not corporate at all.

      Cons

      Quotas are unattainable. They are peanut butter spread with complete disregard as to what the opportunity is in the territory. The culture is not corporate at all-if you expect management to behave like adults then you need to look elsewhere. It is getting to be more like Oracle every day. No one cares about the customer or the employee.
