Working environment
Salesforce employees enjoy competitive compensation and a generous benefits package that includes a health and dental plan, vision, life and disability insurance, a matching RSP plan, a performance bonus and stock options. Additionally, there are maternity/paternity leave, sick and bereavement leave, three weeks paid vacation after one year on the job, flexible work hours, telecommuting opportunities, and up to seven days paid time off to volunteer. There are also paid internships, in-house career planning services, subsidies for professional accreditation, and up to $5000 in tuition per year for job-related courses.

Corporate culture
Salesforce prides itself on a culture of trust, innovation and equality, encouraging employees to bring their whole selves to work and doing their best work everyday. “Ohana”, a Hawaiian concept meaning family, is present throughout the company and is demonstrated through extensive collaboration among employees and clients. Office cubicles do not exist and open space is the norm where teams can work openly. Additionally, Salesforce supports a number of charities and community organizations. It adheres to a 1/1/1 model whereby 1% of its product, 1% of its equity and 1% of its employee hours are given back to the communities it serves globally. This may be interpreted as an extension of Marc Benioff’s (co-founder of Salesforce) philosophy of software and “platform as a service”. Salesforce is one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers (2019) and Greater Toronto’s Top Employers (2019).
