> Hire No More Software Engineers in 2025 https://careers.salesforce.com/en/jobs/?page=1&team=Software... It seems they are still "hiring" If you're seeing software engineering job results in Salesforce, then we can only assume the software engineering jobs listed there are either: 1. Posted last year by Salesforce (can go at any time) 2. Fake Ghost Jobs (more likely) If you work as an engineer at Salesforce, start t…

You wonder if smart hiring managers knew to post their roles ASAP before a freeze on new roles :)

We've had two large tribes come to use from SalesForce and tell us all the issues they've had from no support to poor sales relations. My interactions with the support was just downright saddening. I cannot imagine having to do anything AI related with them. Also, most companies now can just build their own CMS with ease, SalesForce is not going to be around for long.

salesforce will be around forever.

their purpose is to extract money. salespeople like to know that money is being spent on them because that's how they measure value, and will continue to demand salesforce for as long as it is expensive.

I don't know if salesforce is a well run company today, but it was for a long time. The inertia that it's built up and the market leader position that it has means that, even if its glory days are past, it will be around for decades.

Part of their sales drive. We are absolutely assaulted by their sales reps trying to sell agentforce. They wine and dine non-technical executives and push the "ai agents will do everything" story. He is just reinforcing this narrative. Nothing to see here.

1. Salesforce will continue to hire engineers 2. The productivity gains of 30% are probably overstated, in a likely effort to try and sell their AI products

This looked a lot more like marketing than reality. If there was an article on 31 Dec 2025 that said 'Salesforce didn't hire any software engineers in 2025' I would probably have more interest in it.
