Enterprise cloud computing leader makes list for the third consecutive year; ranks first for annual employee pay and ninth in job growth

SAN FRANCISCO, January 24, 2011 \u2013 Salesforce.com [NYSE: CRM], the enterprise cloud computing (http:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/cloudcomputing\/) company, today announced it has been ranked 52nd on the 14th annual \u201c100 Best Companies to Work For\u201d list published by FORTUNE magazine. This is the third consecutive year salesforce.com has made the list.

Salesforce.com was ranked first amongst all 100 companies for how it rewards its employees financially, and as one of the top 10 companies for job growth. According to Fortune, \u201cSalesforce.com goes to extremes to reward the top performers who have helped drive its growth. No wonder this online software provider tops this year’s list of best payers.\u201d

About FORTUNE\u2019S \u201c100 Best Companies to Work For\u201d
\u2022 To pick the 100 Best Companies to Work For, FORTUNE partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America.
\u2022 Three hundred eleven companies participated in this year’s survey. Two-thirds of a company’s score is based on the results of the Institute’s Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about management’s credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The other third of the scoring is based on the company’s responses to the Institute’s Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring practices, internal communications, training, recognition programs and diversity efforts.
\u2022 Any company that is at least seven years old with more than 1,000 U.S. employees is eligible. The deadline for applying for next year’s list is June 15, 2011. For an online nomination form, go to www.greatplacetowork.com.
\u2022 The full list and related stories will appear in the February 7, 2011 issue of FORTUNE, and are available now at www.fortune.com\/bestcompanies.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
