About the company
Salesforce builds cloud software used by businesses to run sales, customer service, marketing, commerce, analytics, and app development, with a growing focus on AI features across the product suite. Salesforce sells primarily to organisations that need a single system for customer data and workflows across teams. Salesforce runs a large university recruiting track under the Futureforce name, covering internships and new graduate roles across functions.
Locations and presence
Salesforce has 90+ global offices, with major hubs across the U.S., EMEA, and Asia-Pacific. Salesforce publishes formal hybrid-work guidelines with different in-office expectations by role, so early-career experience can vary by team and location.
Palpable Score
79.6
/ 100
Salesforce offers strong early-career access through a steady flow of internships and true “college grad” roles, plus additional pathways like apprenticeships and partner programmes. Salesforce also scores well on pay transparency in many U.S. postings and on learning support, especially where new grads join a year-long graduate programme structure. The main limiter is outcomes transparency: Salesforce shares some conversion information, but Salesforce does not publish consistent cohort metrics like promotion timelines or retention by early-career intake.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

17.5
/ 20
  • The company runs Futureforce internships and new graduate roles across multiple functions, positioning both as mainstream entry points rather than side programmes.
  • Salesforce operates additional “non-traditional” entry routes through Future Pathways, including apprenticeships and partner tracks (for example, Year Up United and Ada Developers Academy placements).
  • The company posts repeatable “College Grad” roles (such as AMTS/MTS software engineering) alongside seasonal internships, which supports applicants looking for a first full-time role, not only student placements.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.8
/ 20
  • The company publishes a “How we hire” guide that sets expectations around behavioural and situational interviewing and preparation.
  • Salesforce includes specific candidate protections in job adverts, including an accommodation request route and a stated option to object to the automated screening tool used in the application process.
  • The company has a broadly structured interview flow reported by candidates (assessment plus technical and hiring-manager stages), but candidate feedback still points to variation by team in timelines and the level of feedback shared.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

16.5
/ 20
  • The company’s “College Grad” AMTS/MTS software engineering listing explicitly describes a year-long graduate programme with targeted events, plus mentorship and networking with senior levels.
  • Salesforce positions interns and new grads as doing real work with manager support and mentor pairing, rather than shadowing-only placements.
  • The company’s Future Pathways apprenticeships run for 12–36 months and pair on-the-job work with accredited learning through external apprenticeship providers in EMEA.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

16.8
/ 20
  • The company publishes base salary ranges on at least some early-career U.S. roles, including an AMTS/MTS (College Grad) posting with a stated typical base range and a higher range in select metro areas.
  • Salesforce offers benefits that matter for early-career stability, including health coverage, retirement support, employee stock purchasing, and recurring reimbursements (for example, wellness and education-related support) that reduce out-of-pocket costs.
  • The company has strong market pay benchmarks for entry-level technical roles, but salary visibility is not equally consistent across every geography and job family, which keeps this pillar short of top scores.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

14.0
/ 20
  • The company has publicly stated that Salesforce converts up to 80% of eligible interns to full-time employees in a typical year, which is a concrete outcome signal for students.
  • Salesforce has strong intern sentiment signals in public reviews that repeatedly mention mentorship and structured intern experiences, suggesting many placements translate into positive early-career development.
  • The company has gone through workforce reductions reported publicly in 2025, and Salesforce does not publish standard early-career outcome metrics like retention by cohort or typical promotion timelines, which limits confidence on long-term outcomes.
