Pros

Specific To Interns: Interns are given a lot of resources to both learn and have fun. There are about 1-3 speaker series every week for interns as well as other tech talks which are open to all employees. There were also so many fun events to help interns explore San Francisco such as a cable car tour, a small cruise ride, or street food tours. Overall Company: The company culture is fantastic. Salesforce is huge on doing social good and do a lot to help employees have a positive impact as well. For example, there is generous donation matching, hours of VTO (time off for volunteering,) and awards for employees who volunteer more. For example, the company has an internal Facebook-like system where posts are public to everyone and most communication / business is done on it. Every 4 months, there's an internal career fair where you can learn about other teams' projects and transfer to another team if you'd like.

Cons

It's a larger company so work tends to move more slowly. However, your actual team is usually small.

Pros

An amazing summer full of learning, fun, and hard work. The FutureForce team does an amazing job filling the summer with fun experiences (party on a boat, renting out all of SOMA Streatfood Park, a baseball game, and so much more) as well as learning experiences. We had lunch and learns from executives like the CFO, CEO of Heroku, and tons of thought leaders. What's really great about all of these experiences though is that it's clear the fun and learning is not just an opportunity for interns but for full time employees too. Throughout the summer, there was an all Tech and Product summer picnic at the zoo with included animal adventures and an amazing barbecue, a Summer of 99 party, and tons of lunch and learns with internal and external people presenting research. On my team I was able to contribute to features and bugs and was challenged and stretched but supported the whole time. I was able to demo to high level executives and definitely contribute real value. Another really unique aspect of Salesforce is their commitment to Ohana, or family. All of the employees, customers, and partners are treated with the highest level of respect. I especially appreciated the commitment to increasing diversity in the tech industry. One way Salesforce aims to do this is through the employee resource groups, like FemmeForce, BOLD, OutForce, and LatinoForce. Another way Salesforce aims to help the community is through volunteering. Every employee gets 56 hours to volunteer and we as interns were able to spend up to 56 hours volunteering as well! I was able to volunteer at an urban farm, a beach cleanup, and much more!

Cons

There really aren't any downsides. All of my expectations leading up to the internship were exceeded.

Pros

Salesforce is a great place with plenty to learn and lots of friends managers and mentions!

Cons

Only somewhat disappointing thing is that they seem to be a little cheap on the hardware they are willing to provide to employees. It shouldn't be hard to get nice monitors, and IT shouldn't be a second class citizen.
