Pros

- A lot of money making opportunities - Heard its good for people who are not doing front end sales

Cons

- Tons of pressure - No personal life, or respect to the fact that you are a mother to an infant. Yes there are rooms to pump milk, courier facility to ship it if you are traveling but none of these things matter when there is no time to look after your child and all that is expected out of you is travel to customer sites - Too much power in the hands of Manager, his/her personal liking or disliking would decide if you would stay or get thrown out (no one else has any say, HR is just a dummy)

Pros

Standard perks of working for a Silicon Valley-based company (micro-kitchens with free drinks and snacks, free coffee from baristas, wellness reimbursement, volunteer time off, etc), top of the line pay, options to work from home (depending on role), and decent opportunities for career advancement.

Cons

For as much as SFDC prides itself on their corporate culture (it is admirable), it doesn't actually apply in reality, at least for support-based roles. This satellite office is almost never visited by upper management (directors and above) and they have absolutely zero clue about the day-to-day operations. The business analytics are TERRIBLE, so teams are regularly forced to neglect a healthy work/life balance to compensate for leadership that simply asks too much, doesn't organize, won't hire, and doesn't listen. Great product, and I definitely had high hopes when joining, but this place is a soul sucker and you're better off taking less and being happier elsewhere.
