Pros

You probably couldn't find a better work-life balance anywhere in the Bay. Lunch might not be provided, but with a solid amount of PTO, volunteer time off (7 days!), and flexibility of location, Salesforce definitely makes up for it. The people who work at Salesforce are also incredibly talented, and everyone seems to understand how to leverage our strong position in the market.

Cons

Salesforce values high growth and sales more than strong engineering. They are working on changing this, albeit slowly.

Advice to Management

The technology that Salesforce is running on is becoming antiquated, leaving many engineers with less productivity than we might normally achieve. While growth is fantastic, I am worried we might be a sitting duck when a new tech-focused CRM arises.
