Minpunten

The company hierarchical. Management does not listen to or take their employees seriously. Folks draw a circle around their responsibilities to minimize liability. The company smokes their own product, meaning that they are great because they believe they are great. Management is green and has no clue how to deal with friction within the team or how to motivate people. The product has serious issues, but if you bring them up along with possible solutions, you manager will not be happy and tell you that these issues are not our concern because a different team is responsible for the feature in question. There is no sense of urgency. The company is very successful, but resting on your laurels is an invitation to competitors to eat your lunch. The product does not scale well on the server-side. The word "proactive" is not in anybody's dictionary. We're all waiting for fires to fight. Teams are poorly organized. Instead of forming small two or three person teams to implement a feature, some people are assigned massive tasks while others are given small tasks that have to be stretched out to make an appearance of effort. Some teams can have three or four managers in the span of a single year.

Pluspunten

Coworkers are smart, kind, and supportive. Good product. Interesting problems to solve.

Minpunten

Culture has lost its way a bit under Salesforce. Tight budget, hiring freezes, and tight ACV goals and deadlines have changed priorities across the company for the worse. Stock isn't doing well.
