It looks practically the same as dropbox & basecamp homepages to me, to use other examples of massive behemoths in the new wave of successful startups.
To me, it certainly doesn't look un-trust worthy and is better than 99.99% of home pages. What do you consider a 'trusted company' look? Be interesting to link some examples! Always fascinating to see how massively taste makes a difference. I don't want to put words into your mouth, but is Salesforce's homepage a trusted company look?
I'm not even a github fanboy, I think their interface still needs a lot of work and has a lot of massive annoyances (e.g. showing commit messages next to files and folders, bloody awful UX choice IMO, so confusing). And I still don't get the point of the command bar/search uselessness. Google searches github a lot better than they do thanks. And Reddit. And Hacker News. And Stackoverflow. So much wasted programming time making useless search systems, so annoying the Chrome bizarrely tries to actually use those search systems.
