> According to LinkedIn they have 141 employees, down 30% in 2 years. We had nearly 400 at peak I think. They had a significant layoff in 2020.

Not very related, but this is an example of a service (maybe just for me) I've wanted to setup with LinkedIn: Given company X, find all people that work or used to work there, then get rotation statistics. You should be able to see how many people (and %) go in and in what time on average.

I know of a smallish startup (70 people) where execs (VP and C level) rotated pretty often because of the policies of the CEO (was extremely cheap). It would be a great tool to have when exploring new companies.

A caveat that I considered adding to that statistic but left out due to brevity:

30% is likely over-estimating because there is likely some # of people that still work on Heroku but labeled themselves as Salesforce employees. There are also probably a higher number of people that work on Heroku part-time so also label themselves as Salesforce.

A tool like your suggestion could probably help but it would include folks that transitioned to a different part of Salesforce entirely.
