Pros

No longer a start-up, it's a big company now. Lots of friends working there. Being located in the heart of San Francisco is a plus. A ggod place to get your career started.

Cons

As a big company, it was harder to get things done. Executives are not always in sync. It seems they prefer to hire from the outside rather than promote from within. Lots of changes going on these days.

Pros

Great, innovative company with amazing benefits, smart people, and opportunities. The majority of the rest of this review is for the marketing cloud in particular.

Cons

Being in the Marketing Cloud in particular, there were many acquisitions and a terrible, negative culture. Now that ExactTarget has become a part of the Marketing Cloud, its a fight for control between Salesforce and ET. Not a fun place to be right now with all the changes and job security is a joke. Many ExactTarget employees and managers that came over from the acquisition are totally unprepared for their positions. Everyone there got promotions and I'd have to say the majority are completely unqualified. I don't see things turning out well.

Pros

Innovation at it's finest, great people to work with, outstanding benefits, solid compensation, extremely flexible,. Downtown SF location and stunning offices that can't be beat.

Cons

Extremely fast paced - such that priorities change too often. Leadership can sometimes promise impossible things that the rest of us have to figure out at any cost how to deliver which can be frustrating versus a rewarding challenge.
