Pros: Can work on any piece of the app you need to; it's all right there.
Excellent DB knowledge in-house. How does Salesforce scale, after all?
From the outside, a great sales team.
Cons: The codebase is showing its age. The basic design from 5 or 6 years ago didn't scale as well as it could have.
It's hard to get good feedback on new ideas. You get very different answers to the same question, depending on who you are talking to.
From the inside, the sales team is terrible and very cutthroat.
