Pros

Salesforce is absolutely a meritocracy. Be excellent, be rewarded. This is the best possible mechanism for retaining people that count. If you're good, you will be recognized. If not, respectfully, you are not who we want to work with.

Cons

Some technical architecture suffers from age, but the problems are well recognized. Fixes are staffed, and the tooling around the problems does a great deal to mitigate them.

Advice to Management

Maintain the spirit and momentum.

The camaraderie, sense of purpose, and urgency, balanced by truly honest work-life balance (not the mere lip service so many companies offer), is so vital to our success.

Maintain this, add employees at an appropriate pace, and this substantive inertia, composed of the qualities above, will make continued growth wildly successful.
