Pros: Honestly, RSUs were good before the market crashed.
Cons: Honestly, the worst company ever. Everyone has the inflated title of software engineer, and bad engineers outnumber good ones. There's little to learn from peers, as even the tech leads don't know how to for-loop, and they don't seem to get piped at all.

Pros: Salesforce has great pay. On the tech side, you can also get decent experience in AWS.
Cons: Politicking does occur. You will be denied a promotion if the wrong person says no, regardless of how many say yes. You will be told to do what you can, but get hints to work 60+ hour weeks. And my favorite: having people labeled as architects make decisions that are not grounded in anything other than hopes and dreams, without any real forethought.
