Current Employee – been working at Salesforce.com full-time
Pros – - Friendly, smart, energetic, easy-going, and young people
- A culture that respects work/life balance
- A culture that promotes individual initiative and voice
- One of the best locations in SF for views (of the bay and Bay Bridge), walking-distance food, and happy hour
- Right next to a BART station (Landmark building)
- Great compensation, perks, and benefits
Cons – - No free lunches/dinners, like in some companies. Not really a "con" for me but for some people it might be. I prefer the vast array of real restaurants/food in the area over cafeteria food, but some prefer quantity/price (free) over quality so I thought I'd mention it.
