Description: Salesforce.com has rapidly evolved from a startup founded by four people in a cramped San Francisco apartment in 1999 to a company with more than 2,500 employees, an $800 Million Annual Revenue Run Rate and over 1,000,000 users worldwide. As a pioneer in on-demand business services, we are transforming the software industry, championing what we call the “democratization” of software—offering small companies the benefits of sophisticated business applications, a luxury previously affordable only for large enterprises. Our customers range in size from tiny companies to global multinational corporations and represent diverse industries. Top talent across the world joins salesforce.com for its “change the world” mentality; the opportunity to excel in a performance-driven, fast-paced, and competitive atmosphere; the chance to be surrounded by peers and leaders that inspire, motivate, and innovate and a corporate philosophy that incorporates community involvement into its fabric.
