Pros: - Worked very closely with my team, delivering work directly applicable to the team on a very customer-facing product as an intern. - Had lots of opportunity to hear from the CEO and executives. - Received monthly Fridays off for wellness plus $100 monthly reimbursements for wellness activities. - Good salary. - Relaxed deadlines and no "grinding" or "tech bro" culture. - Received lots of swag. - Experienced lots of clarity about expectations and how to reach them. - Received lots of support from recruiters and the intern team. - Everyone is super nice, friendly, and open about feedback and helping you. - Even though I failed to get an offer from one team, my recruiter passed my information to another team where I received an offer.

Cons: The smallest con: since I started in June, a lot of the intern events happened in the beginning and more in May. So, at around the halfway mark, there wasn't a lot of engagement from the intern team.

Pros: - Team (the peers on my team were awesome, but all management was awful) - Compensation (you end up paying for it in the long run) - Benefits (comparable to other large companies) - ESPP was nice - Snacks (yay?) - Swag (if you enjoy being a walking advertisement)

Cons: - Work-life balance is terrible. - They took the alcohol away because they hire alcoholics. - Everything is a snowflake and not scalable (they will eventually figure this out, and it will hurt when it matters). - Incompetent management (mid and senior level - how are these people getting hired/promoted?). - Too much management, so nothing actually gets done. - CAB/change management is incompetent. - Dev does not seem to know how to make their products stable or supportable. - Infrastructure does not seem to know how to make their environments stable. - Meetings (let's have a meeting about a meeting, and we will schedule a meeting to discuss the meeting). - Internal Salesforce recruiting/hiring is worthless. - Indy Tower move provides no benefit to employees and worsens work-life balance. - Commute worse now since the move to the ivory tower. - Pay for your own parking (penalized for not living in the city). - No real room for growth within Marketing Cloud for SREs. - Worst career decision I have made from a skill set perspective (no marketable skill set growth outside of the company). - Company liberal agenda constantly shoved down your throat. - Employees placed into a silo. - Mandatory holiday work for Marketing Cloud so other companies can send more spam to people who do not want it. - SRE team mandatory weekly on-call rotation recently went from 4 weeks/year to 15 weeks/year (yes, seriously, and that is the main reason I quit Salesforce for a real #dreamjob elsewhere). - The company itself provides no real benefit to society, so they allow employees to volunteer to feel fulfilled on the inside, but really, it is a thinly veiled attempt at marketing and promotion of the company. - Stressful workplace. - Job titles are made up. - Open office concept is detrimental to productivity and health in general. - Cult feeling with all the internal lingo. - Ridiculous amount of money spent on unnecessary things, but then they take away the small amount of money they contributed to parking costs, which is a necessity. - Giant corporation now... culture cannot keep up with acquisitions. News flash: people are different in different parts of the country and the rest of the world. Company needs to just admit they are the same as other giant corporations. - No longer feels like an innovative/entrepreneurial/start-up company (Now we just buy those kinds of companies, even if it doesn't make sense. I'm looking at you, Quip.). - The company has never told a customer no, even when they needed to do so, and the company is feeling it. - Company seems to reward bad client behavior instead of correcting it. - I am tired of typing, but there are definitely more cons than pros.

Pros: Great culture. Very energetic. Lots of perks. Free beer at work. Many investment options: 401k, Employee Stock Purchase.

Cons: Organizational change is difficult. Everything changes every month on the Marketing Cloud Support team. This will calm down as the Marketing Cloud assimilates further into Salesforce practices.
