Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
At Salesforce, we believe in equitable compensation practices that reflect the dynamic nature of labor markets across various regions.
