Pros

One of the few companies where the upper management really shows that they are thinking about and want to see their employees succeed. One of the very best companies I have ever worked for.

Cons

IT development can be disorganized at times.

Focusing was very difficult.

No clear direction was provided by IT management.

It was really difficult to move from "IT" to "R&D".

R&D in general has a very arrogant, superiority complex. It feels like most in R&D tell themselves that "no one can do what they are doing." That is not always the case!

Advice to Management

In hindsight, I probably should not have left.

Low-level managers: Please try to resolve issues before allowing morale to erode.

Salesforce is a wonderful company. Please don't allow good people to be burned out by relatively simple issues!
