Are they still a growth company? Tech meant growth in the 90s when there really were not markets for these companies, but salesforce seems pretty mature to me at this point.


Good question.

Is this (near) point in which tech companies usually start looking for new CEOs? A new CEO who can manage a new phase of the company’s existence?

That’s surprising, tech workers are in high demand everywhere it’s a very risky way to operate with your staff


It is strange … but it isn’t. People are leaving and coming back with pay raises, which frustrates people who have stayed. It’s not the first tech place that has experienced this with employees. Maybe there have been too many acquisitions?

Salesforce is no different than any of the tech platforms before it. They quickly grow, vastly overpay people, there’s a downturn and eventually they level off.

They are a mature company with a ridiculously low earning per share. Outdated concepts like the level of profitability influencing the value of a company are making a comeback.

The company made a lot of money but no one seems to know where it all went.

Salesforce has a market cap north of $150 billion. The cost of the Superbowl ad doesn't cover the fuel bill for their corporate jets.

The Salesforce CEO is on the board (maybe chair?) of Twitter. Salesforce was on the upswing but it’s stock has dropped a lot in the last year. Maybe they spent too much on their super bowl ad?
