I think for me, I would measure a
successful life by being able to say
these are the people I've helped.
I tend to be somewhat focused
and intense when things are
interesting to me.
I go deep and hard into stuff.
I've always liked building things
and creating things and designing
things ever since I was young.
I have a high level of curiosity.
One day I want to learn how to make kombucha,
the next day I want to learn how to sew.
My personality is that of someone
who just doesn't know the meaning
of no.
My name is Kelly and I'm a director
of engineering at Salesforce.
I'm Mark Turner, a software architect
at Salesforce.
I'm Melody Bonnette.
I'm an engineer at Salesforce.
My name is Arun Kamoji
I'm a director of customer
engagement at Salesforce.
My name is Sukrutha Bhadouria, and
I'm an engineering leader at
Salesforce.
I feel like I have to have some sort
of creative outlet.
It's really valuable to have
a company that supports you
being the person that you want to
be.
They want you to take that time.
They want you to explore your
hobbies, whether it's working on
a new voice with a radio theater
company or designing a new costume.
Being able to just kind of have that
balance mentally balances me
as a person.
Salesforce is a big supporter
of people who think
each person is made of different
pieces put together, and that's what
makes them unique.
And just that message that,
you know, you are not one thing
is so powerful and something that
you are encouraged to be
throughout your time in Salesforce.
The culture at Salesforce is
definitely one of community,
and it's one where we want to
encourage and want to support others
and we want to build a better
product to help us build a better
community and build a better world.
What makes Salesforce different is
literally its culture.
The culture of curiosity,
the culture of following
your gut. Salesforce is
a place you can grow if you enjoy
solving problems.
I didn't know how much I was going
to like being a dad before being
one, so I definitely wear being a
dad on my sleeve and this company's
been nothing but respectful of that
desire in me.
They've encouraged it.
Salesforce giving me the time to be a
better dad, makes me a better
employee because my children give
me the tools that allow me to be a
better employee. And I really
feel supported in that
at work here.
It means a lot to me.
What I'm most passionate about for
sure is like making sure to
create a world where it's easier for
my daughter to not feel like an
outsider.
You know what? Obviously, there's no
gender to be attached to any job
and any kind of work
that one can do.
I think one of the main reasons
I even considered interviewing
for Salesforce was everything
about was felt very genuine.
When they said they were passionate
about working on diversity,
they actually were. You know, we
value diverse perspectives.
We value sort of
growing our teams in a diverse way
and making sure that, you know, we
have the right representation that
not only represents our customer
base, but represents all the
amazing people that work in
technology today.
Salesforce engineering is a place
where smart people solve
hard problems and have fun doing it.
They look out for their employees
just as much as they look out for
their customers.
There's this newness
all the time in everything we're
working on now.
Nohing'ss got this like
tarnish on it.
Everything feels good and fresh.
So there's a place for every
engineer here to work on the things
that they're passionate about.
At the end of the day, it's
being proud of the work that you do
and building cool projects with
people that you enjoy spending time
with. No matter what happen,
you know, in my future, there's a
place for me here and I'm just as
enthusiastic now as I was when I
joined.
I'm excited to continue to build
products that are impactful
to people.
I am excited to continue to learn
the latest and greatest in
technologies.
My fingerprints are permanently
on the parts of Salesforce that
I've been at, and so I feel very
proud of my time at Salesforce
so far. Having that legacy
of people who can say that
I was kind and that I helped them
out and I listened is going to be
what I'm most proud of.
And Salesforce feels like a
wonderful place to get to do that.
