100bestlogo09It’s rare that we toot our own horn but …

Palo Alto Software was honored this month as one of Oregon’s 100 Best Companies to work for. Oregon Business Magazine runs the awards and sends out surveys for employees to fill out.

Thank you to both Oregon Business for running this survey, and thank you to all of our employees who diligently filled it out! We are recognized because all of our employees think this is a great place to work!

I am beyond thrilled to have the company recognized in this way.

There is nothing more important to me at Palo Alto Software  than the team of people who make this company what it is. Without them we would be nowhere. Because our people are so critically important to our success  we do our best to make sure that we provide the best working environment,with the best benefits we can possibly afford. Skimping on your people is just not smart. Before you know it you are also skimping on your customers. I truly believe that being a healthy profitable company goes hand in hand with providing a happy, healthy, productive work environment.
