Salesforce reviews

Prime real estate in San Francisco and free snacks make for a decent work environment. Employees are given paid time for volunteerism. The engineering division is still small, so you have your chance to make an impact. Small teams (arranged around scrum) allow everyone a chance to excel. Engineering management are fairly dedicated to listening to feedback and improving processes. Management is respectful towards employees, allowing them to explore their options. Engineers get as many huge monitors as they need to be productive =). The demands of "on-demand" software are high-quality. Customers of salesforce's software also expect fast innovation. As such, working here is demanding and should be a challenge and a chance to hone your development chops. Also, as it is with web software, it's cool to see your work instantly deployed to a large user base (compare this to nature of patches and upgrades in the on-premise software world).

It's the least political, most functional, software development environment I've encountered. The whole company is focused on the most important factors for success - communication, efficiency, and the customer. The policy of "no sacred cows" applies to all aspects of the business lending to a culture that is always focused on improving both the product and the processes.
