#Salesforce has roughly 79,000 employees against an annual revenue of USD 32 bn. Why such a large number? Do they have a large number of consulting employees, given their business? How's the work culture? Any insights? #Salesforce
They actually make meaningful productivity tools. Even metas ad division uses it. Name one company that on the other hand uses time wasting apps created by meta

I like OP asked a legitimate question with no malice and the reply morphs into an attack on his company. Never change internet. Never change.
Enterprise is a different beast. These kind of posts just shows how ignorant B2C people are about it. Having said that, yes it is bloated and there is a scope for operational efficiency.
Waiting for retards to post Instagram exited for 1B with 8 employees lmfao.
What about whatsapp

Folks, asked a legitimate question. Meta has fewer employees at over 100+ billion in revenue, so genuinely interested. Double genuinely interested because better half is considering joining SF.
First, Bravo on making double the money with half the people. Your company is truly a place of geniuses. If you are worried about your better half being redundant, I would not be so worried. You do your job properly and go home, focus on what's in your control
Because a lot of their employees are customer facing. Every single customer needs customization. It's not like insta/ meta/ Google search where one product for the whole world. Their engineering is pretty thin.
Client facing work. Not as scalable. It’s not straight up consulting but it’s the same category. Margins are thinner when an engineers impact is limited to the scope of a client vs that engineers impact is scaled to millions of users.
This is a good answer. And more India employees tbh
It’s a bloated dinosaur with a lot of repetitive and useless elements. It’s just inefficiency due to bad company culture and processes
We have a lot of sales people and those supporting sales, it's a model that FAANG has struggled with outside of Amazon. Google or Meta prides itself on engineering might. Salesforce openly brags about its Sales strength. Also our products are mostly B2B. As an engineer a lot on this app misunderstand the importance of those sales people. You don't need engineers to the same degree in reality.
Thanks. That's insightful.
The culture btw... Confusing AF at times but it's pretty easy going and not hard to succeed
Salesforce is the new SAP (which btw has about 120K employees)
