Hyland, creator of OnBase
Information Technology
At this software company: “Hyland offers a unique flexibility. People are given the freedom to work in an environment that works best for them. This could mean you work remotely, atypical hours, leave during the day to pick children up from school or to workout. It is a relief to know that this is accepted and, in most cases, supported. Employees who have proven they are hard workers and who will get the job done, have freedom to work in the manner that best supports their life,” says one employee.

“I think the people here truly act as a family. ... They let me work remotely for a month when a family member was sick. They allowed me to have a compact, but short workweek of only 3 days that allows me to pursue other interests. When travel was really wearing me down, there was a dramatic effort to put me on projects that did not require travel,” says one employee at this design consultant.

Mindflash
Education & Training
“Having worked many years in the restaurant industry where hours worked varied depending on the season, it is a great unusual feeling to work for a company that allows a work/life balance. The ability to manage my personal life allows more quality time with my wife and children which leads me to be more focused when I come to work,” says one employee.

Elite SEM
Advertising & Marketing
“Work + life balance is beyond here. We were recently told that it was mandatory to take 5 consecutive work days off to avoid burn out. Team leaders truly care about their team—from their personal well-being to their families. I’ve never worked at a place where our CEO will actively reach out to discuss my well-being and if everything's going okay,” says one worker. Read the Great Place to Work review here.
