Pros

Good benefits. The company invests a lot of energy into promoting wellness and values.

Cons

If you are doing work on the Core product, it can be frustrating, as it is a massive Java monolith.

I believe there is a culture problem within the management ranks of the Digital Engagement division. SF promotes "trust" as their number one core value, but from what I experienced, certain individuals at the middle management level in this division of the company seem to embrace the opposite of that value, leading to an adversarial, rather than cooperative, relationship between teams.

Advice to Management

If you're not part of the problem, and you are actually in a position to enact change, maybe you can start by talking to the people in the trenches. I'm definitely not the only one who was unhappy.
