The Top Ten
Afresh Technologies

Employees say: “A radically transparent, humble, honest, and empathetic culture. People and coworkers who genuinely care about what we are building in the world. A tech company that genuinely embraces work-life balance from the top down, which is rare to see!”
Ladder Financial
+26 spotsFinancial Services & Insurance
Employees say: “Working at Ladder has been the best time of my life. The team in general values growth, curiosity, cross-functional collaboration, and fun while aiming to protect more families in the US with instant, simple, and smart life insurance. Ladder has molded me to become a well-rounded individual and gave me a chance to "Ladder" up in my professional and personal life by being supportive while providing mentors and coworkers who genuinely care. I love our Wednesday small group lunches, where you have lunch with 3 other people across departments. This has been an awesome way to build camaraderie across the company, and it continued via Zoom once the team switched to remote work due to the pandemic.”
Mission Wealth
Financial Services & Insurance
Employees say: “A caring, dynamic and high touch financial advisor, persistently looking to improve the lives of its clients and its team members that support them. A couple highlights that come to mind would have to be how management asks for input and feedback regarding policies, services, resources and training. That is appreciated, as it is nice to feel like team members have a say in some decisions.”
BluPrint Home Loans
Financial Services & Insurance
Employees say: “Honestly, we just do things different. The President and EVP visit all levels of the organization in all areas and make people feel special. They build them up by giving them tools, motivation, and honest and acceptable expectations to meet their job requirements with the ability for each person to give another person praise about being good people and coworkers. It's unlike anything I have seen in this industry.”
Expensify
Other
Employees say: “No one actually has a manager or a direct boss here. When you're hired at Expensify, you're entrusted to make the most efficient use of your time and get your work done without a rigid set of expectations. That trust is such a motivator for me to show up and do my best each day. We also allow for any employee to work on whatever they want. You could be hired in Sales but move to the People Team or Marketing Team if you wanted. There's tons of flexibility when it comes to what an employee's career can look like at Expensify.”
