Working in this industry means long hours and high expectations. At the same time, tech companies large and small in Silicon Valley are known for lavishing perks on employees; the bar for treating employees well is set high in the Bay Area.
This year, Forward Networks is #16 on the Fortune Best Workplaces in the Bay Area. To say that we’re excited about this is an epic understatement. We already knew this in our hearts, the Trust IndexTM Survey just validated what we already knew.
As part of the survey, employees anonymously respond to 60 statements about the company and answer two open-ended questions to determine whether their workplace values diversity, if leaders are competent, transparent, and trusted, if people feel valued, and if they feel like they have a future with the company. The results show that the Forward Networks team has an overwhelmingly positive outlook.
This place isn’t special because of lavish perks; Forward Networks is special because of our people and our shared commitment for making the hard things in networking easy. That shared commitment is reflected in an environment of teamwork and empowerment that’s rare in any company, large or small.
Working here continues to be a magical era in my career where everyone I work with is excited to be here and we all know what we contribute to the company, our customers, and each other. Better yet, we know that no matter what we look like, where we were born, when we were born, or any of a million other factors that make people unique, we’re united and valued.
