      Can be a great place to work, if you don't mind the impact on your private life

      Pros

      Good salary, great product, casual atmosphere. Great potential, both for the company worldwide and for individual careers. Lots of freedom, e.g. in terms of telecommuting or transfers to other locations.

      Cons

      Constant changes of priorities, sometimes extremely high demands on employees' time, too much top-down communication. Orders are sometimes forced through the chain of command from top to bottom, even against heavy resistance. The contant struggle to get the day-to-day work done often doesn't allow time for strategic improvements. SFDC is still run as a very US-centric company. No enough global thinking on all levels in HQ.

      Pros

      The location, the perks, and the salary make it a very competitive place to work. If you are on the engineering teams, then its definitely worth your time to learn everything as they are a very innovative company in everything that is done. The culture is very young as well if you are out of college, you will definitely make some good friends. Sometimes the work will be very heavy, but the perks and everything you more than pays off at the end. Its not a bad place to start a career, especially if you are doing engineering at salesforce.com

      Cons

      work life balance is nonexistent. The rapid fast iterations of new products and technologies make it very difficult to have some time off quickly. Stuff changes so quickly that you don't even know.

      Name-brand, but not worth it...

      Pros

      Salesforce.com pays well. They're good when it comes to telecommuting. Most employees there are able to telecommute at least part time if not full-time. It's really nice to work there if you live in San Francisco, since the SF office is located right next to all forms of public transportation.

      Cons

      Too much nepotism and too large a percentage of new grads have resulted in many positions, including *key* positions being filled by inexperienced/unqualified people. Too many processes, too much focus on building out and observing processes..gets in the way of getting the job done...can be extremely frustrating... Too much middle management, some teams have more than one manager. Too many "initiatives" and "mandates" from the top down, with little or no direction on how to accomplish/fulfil the initiative/mandate. ZERO work-life balance.
