Salesforce owns Heroku, and we leverage that relationship where it makes sense. Other than that, Heroku operates independently of Salesforce, which is how both sides want it to be.

We have our own office, we're keeping our brand, and we operate the business as we see fit.

We're 2 years into the acquisition with no signs of that relationship changing anytime soon.

A better question is, why don't some of the reasons that it's so great to work for Heroku symbiotically trickle up to the behemoth parent company?
