Pros

Industry leader, challenging work, strong stock options (so far), talented people, lots of opportunities to move around and take on different roles. Working in consulting you are not in the top tier of the company in terms of compensation and how the organization is valued. It's great to work at an industry leader like this, the technology is constantly improving and opportunities abound, although, not as much in consulting as other areas.

Cons

work life balance is challenging. It is exciting but the strain of growing this quickly shows in operational areas and some of the things you would take for granted at more mature companies haven't evolved. Lots of initiatives to 'solve problems' internally go no where and are forgotten in a quarter

Pros

Location, location, location. You just can't beat the views. Some really great people are there, and it's technology focused.

Cons

Oh how to list these. Senior Management needs to stop worshiping itself and actually run the company and stop being a yes man to Marc B. If he farts, they say, oh Marc, it smells like Teen Spirit. No, honestly, that idea doesn't stink at all. Marketing is a sink hole of money at salesforce. They've pretty much promoted the CMO from within, when others wouldn't come aboard to run the department. While I was there, all they managed to hire was a slew of VP's and Directors into marketing. So for marketing, I would say it's very, very top heavy, with no one to do the actual work. They have this thing called a V2MOM that should be eliminated. No one follows it, no one understands it, and how can you follow it when it changes all the time.
