Pros
Freedom to execute beyond your given role - if there's technology, tools, etc out there that you feel passionate about exploring, all I get are green lights! Support from manager. Work IN the city - no commute! Incredibly passionate CEO who in the 5 years I've been at Salesforce where I've watched us grow from 5K to 20K employees, he STILL replies to personal emails from employees. He's amazing. His enthusiasm is infectious. And his philanthropic passion is admirable. Flexible work environment - easy to WFH if necessary without feeling like you're missing out. Camaraderie among team and company - on a global scale. Travel - just recently I was asked to go to Japan. Incredible experience immersing myself into our office there and really getting to know the culture and people who up until then, was all conducted remotely. Total game changer when given the opportunity to sit down face to face!!
Cons
Staying informed among the management chain changes. Lots of movement - all good things but definitely not doing a great job communicating those changes to employees first. I'm fortunate because I work in a department privy to that info, but to speak on behalf of other departments not close to HR, I know they feel lost and surprised too often. Many times creating unnecessary scares causing folks to prematurely jump ship - most boomerang back but k feel if we could get in front of this, we could reduce the boomerang rate. Additionally, RSU and overall stock grants to a limited number of employees. At my former employer, I was given RSUs off the bat but not here at SFDC and I've been here almost 5 years and in a fairly senior role. Not sure why that's the case. Colleagues feel the same and those good friends of mine who got stock are shocked I have none. Seems like a basic perk but it's not given to everyone :(
