Business Outlook

Pros

Great company with an outstanding CEO. People work hard and play hard at Salesforce. The people are great and the work is very rewarding.

Cons

Growth has taken a serious toll on Salesforce. The culture has become that of Oracle. Very political. Not nearly as fun as it was a few years ago.

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are very committed to the company. Marc is a very inspiring leader who is able to effectively get the whole company on board with visionary ideas. There is a focus on being well rounded and giving back.

Cons

The rate of change is huge. Often the ready, fire aim approach doesn't work when we are now a large company. We are like the awkward teenager who is growing too fast and fumbling along the way.

Business Outlook

Pros

Young and vibrant office culture, excellent facilities in Downtown SF. Excellent place to start your career without too much risk. Lots of people to help you along the way.

Cons

Must learn the Salesforce way and abide by their playbook. Lot of promotions from within, so a lot of management started from the bottom and made their way up without much experience elsewhere.
