Pros

Smart people and big, challenging problems to solve in engineering. People are allowed to be innovative and take chances. The focus on giving back (1:1:1) is pervasive throughout the company.

Cons

Infrastructure engineering is very top-heavy. It's become an org of overpriced ex-Microsoft executives that have not delivered anything of value to the company and the group. There is a complete lack of innovation in management style or technology. They have brought with them the management style of the 90s, which didn't really work too well for MSFT. The feeling in the group is contempt for Salesforce and the people committed to Salesforce. People work in fear, which is not the culture it was before they joined. It's sad to see the disregard that they have towards building an org on the values of Salesforce. Bad behavior and horrible treatment of individuals have been overlooked time and time again by HR and management.

Advice to Management

Audit the infrastructure engineering team and really find out what they've delivered. Have zero tolerance for bad behavior.
