Pros

Great Resources, Competitive Pay and Benefits Love the Product and Values System of Giving Back Generous PTO and VTO Policy Charismatic Leader /CEO

Cons

Horrible, I MEAN HORRIBLE Middle Managers. Stay Away if want to keep your Sanity and Dignity. Depending on your manager, You can have NO LIFE! I am dead serious. I put in 12 hours a day, sacrificed my Life and Family time ... Gave Blood, Sweat and Tears ....all for nothing. No recognition and constantly "beaten up" or disrespected. Told that they want to focus on Employee retention but it is just "Crap/BS talk" so that Leaders can CYA. Pleaded with my group's leader for a transfer to another manager in his group but told to "Suck it up and Deal with it". Don't know WTF he is thinking with a response like that.

I wonder how the people in middle level management are non responsive and how they can take liberty and convert a product based company into a BPO .

Pros

- Great product/technology/platform - Stock Purchase Program - Philanthropic Model - Benefits - Everything you would expect at a big company

Cons

- The company culture is toxic. Success through the failure of others - TPS reports = badging, v2mom, and work.com - No career advancement or mobility SE Specific Feedback - Comp plan is homogeneous. No way to exceed quota and q4 loaded. - SE Management - Just downright not quality people. God help you if you go over anyone's head or question the company line. Might as well give your two weeks notice. Everyone manages up trying to show some value for which they have none - Sales Engineering means making Prezi's, videos, and bringing sexy back, not actually being technically competent - Training equals going through marketing decks with your peers and a toastmasters score sheet Bottom Line - The folks being hired now would have never even been looked at 3 years ago. - It took the company over six months to fire a guy who had never logged into salesforce and 30 days to fire another guy who had been there for 6 years who voiced his opinion - EVERY single person who would be worth keeping is looking to leave - Great place to work if you are a sheep who is blind
