Ummm, er, because their consulting practice is the size of a 5 year old's bladder?

Software vendor services are mindless configurations and troubleshooting technical issues. Consulting firms bring value add including strategic solutions, program/project management, etc.

One of my friend joined them a year ago. Very happy with culture, pay. Got promoted also within a year. I haven't heard anything negative from him.

We consulted for them and one of their stats is a 75% turnover...within the year half of the original client project team was gone or their seniority was at 2 years max...

thank you guys for the replies - D1, friend did the same and they love it. One of my best friends constantly harps on the fact that they're typically not the black

I would recommend working for Salesforce, but not within their PSO group. FANTASTIC culture (I've been on two great projects with them in SF) but PSO delivers too low of margins for these large software companies. They exist because they have to, not because they are particularly awesome at it

A3-I clean up software vendor messes for a living

Software vendors don't actually want to be in the services business. They'd rather be making something and have a business partner do their dirty work.

I worked there and had a very positive experience. Echo the sentiment about people and culture. Will certainly depend on function/role/team (and agree with comments about PSO) they have a fair bit of recovering consultants (MBB/Big 4) throughout the company in various departments

Worked there. Shitty people promoted to managers.
