Salesforce.com: # 55 on Fortune Magazine’s 2009 100 Best Companies to Work For

Posted on January 26, 2009 by lkao

I flipped open my latest paper copy of Fortune today and saw that Salesforce.com is listed as #55 on the 100 Best Companies to Work For list. Congratulations! (I know, they probably wanted to be at the #1 spot as folks there take achievement in all areas so seriously, but this is still significant and they should pat themselves on the back.)

Fortune cited Salesforce’s 1-1-1 corporate philanthropy model as particularly noteworthy, and I’d agree. (I just hope that other companies adopting this model stay true to their word, even in tough times like this.)
