A lesson by Hannah Leske
About Salesforce
Salesforce is, undoubtedly, a name familiar to anyone working in a business-to-consumer company. The cloud-based software company, headquartered in San Francisco, California, provides customer relationship management (CRM) software as a service and also provides enterprise applications focused on customer service, marketing automation, ecommerce, analytics, and application development. A successful platform in its own right, Salesforce is also the parent company of the likes of Slack Technologies, Tableau Software, MuleSoft, and Acumen Solutions, which have been acquired over recent years.
TL; DR
A team culture that everyone is proud of: Salesforce was recently voted one of the best companies to work for.
Embracing constant change: Salesforce teams must regularly adjust to changes, as new products are constantly being released and other products are being brought on through acquisitions. New teams are aligned with the Salesforce processes over time.
What better way to test your product than to use it every day? Salesforce uses its own technology and apps in their own day-to-day operations
