employees love. To bring you this list,

creative thinking in a fun, relaxed environment.”

Employees say: “We have strong core values
and we see the positive impacts of them on a daily basis. Most places
I’ve previously worked at had values, however, managers followed them
when necessary, a common ‘do as I say, not as I do’ type of mentality.
Working at WWT has shown me there are companies out there that still
practice what they preach.”
“The culture of innovation and collaboration is very
impressive at our company. With the diverse experiences of our
employees, our culture encourages reaching out to others to solicit new

Employees say: “This is the best place I’ve
ever worked. This is a company that promoted me two weeks before
maternity leave with my second child to make sure I was excited to
return and excited about my role. It’s also a company that let me chart
my own path and create a new program. It’s empowered me to take my ideas
and work to incredible places and work with some of the most creative
and innovative people of my career.”

mold as they walk into the doors—everyone is encouraged to be themselves

Yext. Even when people are having a stressful or frustrating week, we
are all united by driving the company forward toward our goals. There is
a sense of community and teamwork that I haven’t experienced at other
companies. I think a lot of this can be attributed to our strong
leadership—they know where they want the company to be two years, five
years, 10 years from now and they make it clear that we are all a huge

7. Atlassian
Employees say: “The level of trust and
empowerment is what strikes me as unique. After having worked for my
last two companies in environments where I was given very little
autonomy, it’s surprising and refreshing to work here. I often ask,
‘does anyone need to approve this?’ and many times, the answer is no.
It’s not that the company doesn’t care about outcomes or is prone to
carelessness and risk. It’s just that the company trusts the individual
to take ownership over content being accurate, and strategic thought to
be applied.”

8. CrowdStrike
Employees say: “I have been in the cyber
security industry for 18 years and in all other companies I have worked
at, I have felt that the company’s primary objective is to sell products
and make money. At CrowdStrike it feels different. There is a belief
that we are here to stop the bad guys. Everyone takes a lot of pride in
working here and to save companies from cyber attacks, loss of data, and
reputation/brand damage. In fact, we don’t have a mission statement, we
are on a mission to stop the hackers. This drives our culture, sense of
commitment, and makes it a unique place to work.”

Our CEO said it best: culture is not defined by games, slides, and cool
things tech companies typically have in their offices. It’s the people
that genuinely care about the organization, take pride in their job, and
enjoy the people they work with that make a great culture.”

noticed in much of the company policies and how employee issues are
handled is that we are treated as adults. From the unlimited vacation
policy to the relatively loose hierarchy, I feel as if I have a lot of
freedom, and the trust that goes along with it, in choosing how best to
contribute value to the company and to navigate my career.”

Employees say: “I have to make a point to
tell people less about ALL the great things Cirrus does for our
employees or for me specifically because it makes most folks jealous.
I’ve worked for various employers where I felt like I was truly valued
and appreciated, but it pales in comparison to how much management
consistently goes above and beyond to improve our job satisfaction here.
It’s an incredible thing to behold and be a part of. I’m extremely
grateful to work here and I know most of my co-workers feel the same.”

work and deadlines, there is never a feeling of being rushed or pushed
by management. We are treated as adult professionals in our positions.
We are not micromanaged, but expected to perform the job and duties we
were hired for. Management places a lot of trust in our abilities to get
the job done. My team is extremely helpful, and ready to assist in any
issue. It doesn’t matter the position or title, everyone jumps in to
help when it’s necessary. There is never the ‘that’s not my job’
mentality. We learn from one another constantly.”
