Pros

Proven recurring revenue model, solid and trusted technology, cult following among small and medium sized customers, aggressive sales team, still growing and hiring in recession, HQs in San Francisco. CEO invented the Cloud idea.

Cons

One of the most stressful, high strung and political modern corporate environments outside of wall street...and it all starts from the very top. The CEO suffers from a big blind spot when it comes to running the company: he rules by diktat, asks for zero feedback, micromanages ad nauseum, and is a firm believer in the Art of War as management philosophy: his directs compete aggressively for his attention and approval and never openly disagree with him. He still runs the shop as if the company was a start-up and he had the insight to make calls on day to day minutia. Salesforce is quickly becoming internally bureaucratic and clunky; innovation, creativity and risk taking are highly discouraged. Long hours, zero respect for family or personal time (emailing and working on weekends and late at night is a widely accepted practice).

Pros

Leading the change to a different business model in IT and believing in it, that creates an athmosphere of commitment and satisfaction. Very fair compensation and internal promotions into the organization. Great leadership and support from management

Cons

Because of the growht of the company the hiring was too fast and now there are some people that has not the level to keep with the company expectations . Sometimes decisions can be political and based in "what have to do" and not in "what shoul do". Very poor HR level.
