Very little team orientation - individuals want to be the superstar Immature management - lack of support, no prioritization of projects, constantly changing direction Managers do not value/appreciate individuals' skills and contribution Startup mentality - and the company is too big for that Chaotic environment does not always foster good thinking and decision-making

A talented collection of high performing individuals

Business Outlook

Pros

- Many talented people working there - Salesforce has made a strategic investment in keeping the core of its Development team in a single location, side by side with Sales, Support and Marketing. Makes for fast results and a strong product cycle, which is satisfying for everybody. - Strong commitment to Agile/Scrum development, which (at its best) empowers employees in their day to day work. - Great downtown SF location. Transit is very good.

Cons

- Established company with startup expectations for its employees. Overtime is expected, double and triple loading of duties on one person is normal. - High level of "internal marketing". A great deal of effort is spent in pushing the latest company kool-aid to the employees. Often difficult to tell fact from fiction, even for in-the-know insiders. - Highly political work environment. Prepare to be stabbed in the back for no particular reason. Prepare for nasty knife fights over resources and head count. Prepare for the frequent "executive drive by", where a so-called SVP of Strategy will saunter over and smile while he drops a grenade in your lap. - Constant restructuring. My first year I reported to 5 difference direct reports, due to restructuring of where our group "belonged". - There is a clique culture of old-timers. Often referred to as "Marc direct hires", which is code for "untouchable". Craggy rocks you need to navigate around in order to get things done.
