Pros

I've never been one to "drink the kool-aid" but it's hard not to considering the culture Salesforce has built. Having the ability to compete against the colleague next to, but at the same time collaborate, is hard to come by. Salesforce does a phenomenal job at caring for their customers, as well as their employees. There is so much room for growth and Salesforce empowers you to make this your career rather than a stepping stone. The best career decision I've ever made was coming onboard to Salesforce.

Cons

When you are a new hire, it feels like information overload. The learning curve is very sharp so you need to make sure you are constantly asking questions and gathering as much information as you can. If you someone who doesn't enjoy a competitive environment, this probably wouldn't be the best fit. Otherwise, be ready to work and enjoy building great relationships with your customers and co-workers.

Pros

-Amazing culture, everyone here wants everyone else to succeed -Team selling; there are plenty of resources available (internal enablement tools, managerial support, Solutions Engineers, product experts) to help you close deals. We truly win and lose as a team -Benefits are second to none (Health, 401k, Stock Purchase, PTO/VTO, etc) -Amazing products on the platform (We rarely have to say "No" to a customers request of our capabilities) and we continue to innovate -Lots of training and opportunities to better your skills as a sales person -Our philanthropic model is best in class and we are heavy into giving back to the community

Cons

-Lots of products on the platform (also a Pro) but as reps we often get pulled in a lot of different directions with promotions. It is imperative to take focused approaches to your selling so you don't get overwhelmed -This is quite a large company so it can sometimes feel as though you're a small fish in a big pond. However, the Chicago Hub still has that homegrown, startup feel to it
