Pros

Very well oiled engine internally. Great communication amongst colleagues and in teams. Genuine people with great knowledge and expertise. Salesforce is the best ecosystem by far, lots of potential. Fantastic product and product team.

Cons

Harp on about their values - not seen that demonstrated once by exec team - in fact it’s getting worse. Exec team are never accountable and shoot from the hip with very little experience. The company let go a huge amount of colleagues but with the most bizarre mix of people left, almost as if they picked names out of hats. Tenured, well respected and genuinely good employees let go for people with little to no experience or never hit their targets, but they are a good drinking buddy for their manager. Spend a lot of money on events and like to talk about having plenty of money in the bank but happy to cut a number of crucial roles and cut good people than cut down on their events and spending on offices.
