Current Employee – been working at Salesforce.com full-time

Pros – - Friendly, smart, energetic, easy-going, and young people

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.
