Pros

As you are already aware that the technology is moving to cloud so this is one of the pioneer is cloud computing. The CEO of the company Marc Benioff is a visionary. This is one of the dream company to work for, and you will come to know that right from start of your interview procedure. It is a company where you can learn a lot of stuff about cloud computing. The tools which they use are all latest in the market which makes life more simple. There applications like chatter , salesforce for outlook , connect for outlook are boon to the technology which makes the client's life more simple. This a company where you will get lot of exposure and interaction with quite good number of skilled people. The compensation would be very good and one would have very healthy work life balance and lot of perks, recognition. The company has developed a new technology which is called as force.com which is amazing and have taken our technology to the next level. After you join the company you will get lots of amazing gadgets like iphone , ipad , mac machine etc. You would love it .

Cons

One of the sad part was that our concerns which we use to highlight was never use to reach to our higher managers Favor-ism was one of the thing which I witnessed because of which other folks used to slog Job stability is a concern because due to there changes in the higher management they can ask you leave at anytime Also I felt that few people where not competent enough to be a part of the organization not sure how they got hired.

Work in a product group or sales but stay away from corporate marketing!

Pros

Inspirational CEO and many intelligent, driven individuals across Product, IT and Sales. Benefits are good and work/life balance is manageable for a company with such incredible growth. Locations in downtown SF are fabulous!

Cons

Politics within the creative team are the worst I've seen anywhere and are getting worse over time. it's purely a leadership problem and the negativity comes from the top where there are a couple mean-spirited individuals who actively seek to undermine leaders from other teams, including people who are new to the company. This has been going on for a couple years and no one has done anything to address it. HR and executive leadership have turned a blind eye! Also, if you need to get anything done with the creative team, you'll be asked to support 1-5 new employees for their team, which costs more and delivers less than hiring an agency to help as needed. It's all about grabbing power there and it's ruining the culture, forcing great talent to leave, and short-changing real growth opportunities. Real growth could also be driven by a better go to market strategy. The go-to-market strategy is weak but made worse by the fact that the campaigns team isn't even led by a marketer or someone who knows how to run campaigns effectively.

Pros

The benefits are great. Salary is extremely competitive. The people are amazing.

Cons

Salesforce came in and completely change the dynamics of the sales team. Quotas are unrealistic and those who are actually achieving their numbers have 4x the territory than those who aren't. Management plays favorites. It went from a positive environment to an extremely negative one where one isn't motivated to perform well. It feels like Salesforce is trying to manage people out and I don't expect the Pardot sales team to be around in a few years.
