In August 2020, Salesforce founder and co-CEO Marc Benioff said the company was planning to add over 12,000 new jobs in 2021, many falling into the hybrid-work model adopted in the pandemic. Since then, the push has opened up new talent pools for the company and new opportunities for ambitious professionals.
The San Francisco-based software company also has a great reputation as an employer, ranking number 10 in Glassdoor's Best Places to Work in 2022, and making the list every year since 2016. The company currently has more than 4,000 open roles on its website, and 1,700 are located across the US.
While Salesforce doesn't share payroll information publicly, Insider matched the salary of employees holding the same job titles as those listed on the careers page, using federally disclosed data on Salesforce's 2021 H-1B visa holders.
These salaries are based solely on foreign workers employed in the US; however, the data can still provide insight for job seekers looking to make a competitive wage. (To research more roles or companies, explore Insider's salary database.)
