Braze

“Your teammates genuinely care about your success at Fivetran. Every person I reach out to for help stops what they're doing at the drop of a hat to lend me a hand. Fivetran truly lives by their "One Team, One Dream" philosophy. And the career path is great! Lots of opportunities for professional advancement with industry recognized skills/certifications. I feel lucky to be a member of the Fivetran team.”

Fivetran

Employees say: 
 
“There's a genuine feeling of symmetry and courtesy that can be felt across the organization into leadership. This is the first time I've worked at a company that didn't have drama. People respect each other and try to celebrate each other through various channels of conversation, whether through slack, live chat during Zoom meetings, etc. It generates a unique feeling of positivity that I have never felt in my career before. I feel lucky to have landed here.”

Employees say: 
 
“Inclusiveness, they don't just talk about it, they actually do an amazing job including all kinds of activities to make everyone feel loved and comfortable. I have never seen another company that really cared about the people they employ. I love it here!!”

KnowBe4

“Front is an incredibly trusting and caring organization. We have a lot of flexibility and autonomy--for example, our Flexible Fridays program, a weekly company-wide "unreachable day," shows how much Front values our well-being and genuinely trusts us to do our best work. Our leadership team does a great job of modeling our values. People here truly care about one another and are invested in the company's success.”

Front

Employees say: 
 
“After 10+ years in a retail position, I can truly say that companies like this just don't really exist. I have never worked for a company that truly values their employees and empowers them to achieve their full potential. Everyone is so inclusive and you really feel like you are a part of a team. I actually wake up excited to come to work which is a feeling I never in a million years would've thought I would have.”

ALKU

Employees say: 
 
“Management, Supervisors, Leads and all support teams have invested in my growth and have given me many opportunities to be successful.

6sense

Employees say: 
 
“What I like about this company is open culture. All leaders are down to earth and approachable. On weekly or bi-weekly basis CEO or other senior leaders communicate and provide update to everyone via all-hands meeting. People take pride in their work and there is a hunger to grow as a team. People are more than willing to go out of their way to help you.”

Workato

Employees say: 
 
“This is the only company for which I've worked in which everybody, from the CEO on down, lives the company's values every single day.

GitLab

Employees say: 
 
“The focus on culture at Expel is the best I have experienced in 20 years in the workforce. Many places talk about culture and how they "want" a great culture, but Expel actively measures it (through surveys) and ensures employees get what they need to be happy, healthy and genuine at work. We often celebrate little and big wins alike and everyone is generous with praise for their colleagues. The positivity is palpable in every interaction with colleagues. I also think having a shared mission around keeping our customers safe is a great mission that everyone can collectively get behind.”

Expel

Employees say: 
 
“I would not have worked here for almost 14 years if TIAG was not an incredible place to work. This organization treats our people like, well, people - individuals are recognized constantly for their contributions to the Company's success, management continually solicits feedback and takes action on the feedback as much as they can. I love that the company doesn't take itself too seriously and conducts "Spirit Week", Trivia Happy Hours, Bingo Nights, etc. It's refreshing to have leadership who values retention as our bottom line - it makes such a difference.”

The Informatics Applications Group (TIAG)

Employees say: 
 
“Lucidites (employees of Lucid) as we like to call them seem to all have a sincere desire to respect and help one another. I remember during my remote onboarding that I felt more connected to my team than I felt during previous in-person onboardings at other companies. Lucid goes out of their way to help you feel valued and welcome regardless of your age, experience, gender, or personal beliefs. Lucid shows that they value their employees and the employees act like they are valued.”

Lucid Software

Employees say: 
 
“The transparency and atmosphere is unlike anywhere I have ever worked before. I feel comfortable reaching out directly to the CEO to ask questions and actually get quick responses. Additionally, this is the most welcoming and unique office environment I have ever been apart of. Everyone is so knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to help. This is by far the best company I have ever worked for.”

Mercury

Employees say: 
 
“At Collibra, there is a genuine focus on creating a positive work culture where each employee feels safe to show up fully.

I've never worked for another company with such an interest in ensuring employees feel good at work, and good about their work, which creates a culture of intrinsic motivation to do your best.”

Employees say: 
 
“Everyone here talks about the culture being what sets Highspot apart as a workplace, and I absolutely agree.

Highspot

Employees say:

While the people you work with day in and day out are undoubtedly some of the brightest individuals in the industry, you wouldn't know it based on how humble everyone here is. Hiring decisions are made thoughtfully and new hires are encouraged to reach across the aisle to meet colleagues.”

Ironclad

Employees say: 
 
“Many companies tout that they're like a family, but Invoca is the first company I felt has truly practiced that philosophy. Employees have a safe space to express themselves and stay connected, while maintaining a remote setup for safety. It truly starts from the top, with our CEO fostering safe conversations about real world events that affect our employees to giving transparent weekly updates, including shout outs to all levels of employees, about the company's progress.”

Invoca
