Salesforce
The self-described “customer company” earns its place on this list for several reasons. Since 1999, Salesforce has been helping businesses to improve their relationships with their customers at every touchpoint. This includes sales, customer service, marketing, e-commerce, analytics, and more.
Like its predecessor, Salesforce boasts a 4.1 out of 5 on Glassdoor, with 80% of employees likely to recommend it to a friend and 83% in approval of CEO Marc Benioff. This is drawn from 19,452 reviews. It’s also an officially certified Great Place to Work, with no less than 15 National Best Workplaces Awards.
What is Salesforce’s remote work policy?
In recent years, Salesforce was at the forefront of Big Tech companies championing their employees’ right to work from home. Reportedly, though, Benioff looks to have rowed back on this relaxed stance, with an internal memo circulated in July this year that stated “select groups of staff” must return to the office for four or five days a week. Other staff, meanwhile, are required to work from the office a minimum of three days a week.
It’s a somewhat disappointing turning of the tide from Benioff, who once made headlines when he claimed “office mandates are never going to work.” Still, it’s markedly better than many of Salesforce’s contemporaries, which have completely rolled back their flexible working freedoms.
What else is good about working at Salesforce?
Elsewhere, Salesforce employees are entitled to unlimited vacation, unlimited sick time, health insurance, dental insurance, and more. If necessary, you’ll be given a $10,000 relocation bonus. In terms of remuneration, the company is very generous to its staff. The median salary for a Salesforce employee is $120,631, according to Talent.com.
