Current Employee – been working at Salesforce.com

Pros – After five months at Salesforce, here are my pros:
- Some of the smartest people I've worked with
- Great benefits
- Fair compensation
- Incredible creativity, innovation, and vision
- Happy and loyal customers
- Beautiful employees
- San Francisco HQ

Cons – And after five months at Salesforce, here are a few cons:
- Long work days (and nights) - It's not uncommon for me to work early in the morning until late into the night. I do some sort of work most weekends too.
- Political - But most places I've worked have politics.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the good work. It's great working for a company that encourages hard work and rewards its employees well.

Current Employee – been working at Salesforce.com

Advice to Senior Management – Keep the innovation coming

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Salesforce.com

Pros – The people are smart, genuinely happy, get their work done and do it well. I'd do anything to help my teammates and my manager out, and know they'd do the same for me. People are respectful, fair, honest. Jerks are just not allowed. It's like a very healthy body -- if a bad seed sneaks in, a bunch of healthy cells surround it and gently show it how to behave. Pay is great, product is taking off, Benioff leads by example -- he started this company and he's still here. He's passionate about what we do, and gives credit to his team(s) for making his vision(s) come to fruition.

Couldn't be happier.

Cons – None really. It is a large organization, and it's doubling/tripling in size. Being in such high growth mode, it can sometimes be challenging to on-board people quickly (get their laptops up and working, access to systems, etc sometimes takes a bit).

Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you're doing!

Current Employee – been working at Salesforce.com

Pros – Great products, e.g., Chatter - and more on the way.
Opportunity Open Market.
1:1:1.
Great location.
Improving focus on people and job sat.
Never ending technological innovation.
We eat our own dog food daily.
Focus on the customer.
Most people are in SF (but that's changing rapidly).

Cons – Recruiting, finance, and other organizational infrastructure is not keeping pace with growth.
Tension between freedom and control of product development (freedom is winning).
Non-traditional scrum organization makes it difficult to level practices across Technology.
People don't get the depth (and increasing breadth) of the technology because of the name salesforce.com.

Advice to Senior Management – Invest more in non-sales, non-tech people and departments to support growth.
Take aggressive steps to decentralize products.
Embrace the global workforce.
Be more public about our technological accomplishments so public perception matches reality.
