San Francisco, CA - HQ
 
Description: Change the way the world does business at salesforce.com, the global leader in software as a service (SaaS). More companies trust their vital customer and sales data to salesforce.com than any other on-demand customer relationship management (CRM) provider in the world. Salesforce.com has evolved from a startup founded by four people in a cramped San Francisco apartment 9 years ago to a multinational organization with more than 3600 employees. For fiscal year 2009, we reported revenue of approximately $1.13 billion, an increase of 51 percent from fiscal 2008. 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 service into its fabric. We work in small, autonomous, self-organizing teams with integrated development, product management, quality engineering, and documentation. We value intellect, integrity, and hard work. Those who excel are promoted rapidly. The company is big enough to have global impact, but small enough for brilliant, driven individuals to make their mark quickly and be recognized. Why? We deliver integrated, customizable business applications for companies ranging from small nonprofits to global enterprises in three major releases every year. Or maybe it’s because Salesforce is so easy to learn and use. Or it could be the unprecedented speed with which our customers see real, tangible ROI. Or maybe it’s because of our 100-percent dedication to the success of our customers. In fact, more than 43,000 companies and 1,000,000 subscribers worldwide depend on Salesforce to manage their sales, marketing, customer service, and other critical business functions. We are proud to be contributing to the success of companies of all sizes, in all industries, around the globe.
