Pros

Agressive, smart, well-organized R&D department. Clear technology-wide priotiziation of projects (at least with the recent reorg). Corporate goals are also extremely clear. All employees are required to map their yearly goals to their manager who maps to their manager, all the way up to the CEO. The Foundation makes you feel like you're not just working for another greedy tech company. Extreme passion throughout the entire company about what we do. CEO is a great leader and a brilliant marketer. Downtown SF location.

Cons

Long commute if you don't live in SF. Can be really stressful because of the intensity and passion of everyone working there.

Pros

-people are friendly and has good office atmosphere -pay is competitive and location on the embarcadero is stellar -agile development means that products can be shipped out quickly; development cycles are only 3 months so new things can be taken on -still an expanding company with a small R&D team means there are still many interesting products to work on and each developer can carry a lot of weight -get to work on both the back-end and front-end at the same time

Cons

-(pretty shallow) bad snacks, no complimentary lunch options -enterprise software work could be less interesting and results in customer support being a higher priority a lot of times -development often relies on the internal framework which is a shared code base that can be modified by anyone; this can cause problems well developing a new feature -Agile development might not be cup of tea for everyone (one must always account for each hour of each day) -People could seem a bit too cheerful about working at SFDC

Pros

It's great to work in sales for an Industry leader, they also have a great product and pay their employees well - especially if you're a top performer. There's also a lot of flexibility - if you are striving for work-life balance, you can achieve that. If you want to make as much money as possible, there are ways to do that as well. Whatever motivates you, there is opportunity for that at salesforce.com. The company is also growing very quickly making it a great place for career advancement and opportunity

Cons

Company is growing into the "large" arena and there is more red tape than there was previously. It's also a very competitve environment - so depending on your tastes and performance it may or may not be a good thing - i.e. if you're a lazy person with little ambition, this is not the place for you
