Pros

- Commitment to customers and their success - Collaborative environment - people really are willing to help - Salesforce Foundation - 1:1:1 model (giving time, equity and product to non-profits) - Fast moving product set with genuine innovation - Rapid growth means things are changing all the time - Good training and support for learning - Customers love the product to an extent I've never experienced elsewhere

Cons

- Creeping bureaucracy with some metrics apparently being collected for the sake of it - Rapid change can make it a challenge to keep up - Career paths outside of the USA are a little opaque

Pros

Great product and very fulfilling projects with exciting customers and prospects. Leader and aptly riding the wave of enterprise cloud computing which puts you in the frame almost by default at any front office project. Mostly great people with lot of ambition. Company very often looks internally first to promote but does not always back it up with internal training. Lot of front line managers with no people management/coaching training.

Cons

Relentless pace of sales growth and hiring is not necessarily matched and or paralleled by peripheral and other business units leading to occasional flares but nothing major. Also lack of focus on managing out the people that need to move on to greener pastures. Overall great benefits and nice work hard/play hard mentality. Increasing pressure on target achievement as they hire more and more salespeople reducing their territories whilst maintaining 30% yoy growth
